as you all know by now, a few weeks ago a powerful icelandic volcano wrecked havoc across most of Europe with its massive dust clouds, virtually paralyzing air traffic across the continent for several days. this alone should be enough to hate on an otherwise quiet and tranquil country, but we at colectivo futuro want to help Iceland make amends for such mess via this 20-track Spotify playlist, showcasing a wide range of icelandic musicians. ranging from classic Björk to newcomers Jónsi formerly of Sigur Rós or Emiliana Torrini, and touching up on the modern classicism of Jóhann Jóhannsson. overall, icelandic music is highly introspective and melancholic, which is probably the best companion for days with quiet skies.
