One-man band, Mugison, returns with his soundtrack to Fridrik Thor Fridrikkson’s English-language film Niceland. Described by Variety as Fridrikkson’s ‘most lushly produced and commercial work’, Niceland opens in cinemas in late September after previews earlier in the year at Cannes and film festivals around the world.
Recorded entirely in a church in his hometown of Isafjordur, Iceland, the soundtrack was completed prior to his European tour with Mum, and is predominantly a gentler affair than his debut album, Lonely Mountain, which gained much critical praise. Will Oldham meets ‘Amelie’ might be one way to describe it. The album has 21 tracks by Mugison and a very special exclusive from fellow Icelander Kippi Kanninus.
