Ellismellur / The new single from Moses Hightower

After our recent exciting discovery of Icelandic soul singer Júníus Meyvant it’s nice to return so quickly to those distant shores for a new release from the superb band Moses Hightower.

Unlike Júníus however, Moses Hightower songs are sung in Icelandic and though the tongue may be initially difficult for our English dominate ears to embrace the soulful sound of Ellismellur is undeniable irresistible. Smooth and almost angelic in harmonies, the band have consistently produced touching music that defy the country’s prominent pop/rock culture.

The hypnotic head-nodding beat with tight electronic notes produces an engaging soul-stirring experience – as always!
