Explosions are one of many things Kira Kira has developed to perfection. Her first solo album, “Skotta”, starts off with a bleep that explodes into electronic music of the charming sort. It is now being released on a small French label and it will most definitely be released in Iceland some time this year. The title of the record refers to a special type of ghost that only exists in Iceland. “When I was a kid my Dad used to read me ghost-stories before I went to sleep. Since then I was always interested in them and accepted them as my buddies,” she tells me.
Neither Kira Kira nor Julika Huether were attempting to lampoon the Icelandic stereotypes of naturalistic, naïve artists at play with this interview. It just happened… well, naturally. We apologize to both of them.
