Sin Fang Bous - Clangour (Morr Music)

Sin Fang Bous is one man, Sindri, from Iceland.   He’s released a rather wonderful little LP called ‘Clangour’ on Morr Music.  The LP varies in approach between electro pop - like opening song ‘Advent Inivesga’ which has a hypnotic glitchy feel and a sparser folk-tronica feel  - which shines through at times - nowhere better than on ‘The Jubilee Choruses’.

Giving reference points is tough - on some songs I am reminded a little of Beriut - albeit a less organic more electronic take on the layered pop sound.   On other songs - a more straight forward pop approach veers away from the comparison and has me wondering whether Sin Fang Bous want to be many different types of band all at the same time.  That said,this is an enchanting record that is a refreshing listening experience as it manages to be infectious, inventive and accessible all at once.  That’s a tough trick to pull, but Sin Fang Bous have managed to do it with a great deal of style.
