Stórsveit Nix Noltes

 

 

This is fucking amazing. Royal Family Divorce is the latest release from yet another finely tuned and highly enigmatic Icelandic group. Storsveit Nix Noltes sound like an epic last party on earth in the middle of the Hungarian Countryside - a barn overflowing with musicians caped in tweed and home made knitwear (possibly double cardigans of similar tone but quite different lengths) playings songs to celebrate life and love in a quite post rock fashion.
