1) Iceland’s Pornopop in Reykjavík merge the inventiveness of Kid A-era Radiohead with distinctly northern sound that’s both comforting and lonely like a cold breath of air on the back of your neck. Brothers Águst and Pétur Einarsson of Pornopop have been making music since ´96. They have begun working on their third album, ‘Two Lazy Tigers’ which is to be released in 2010. You can find Pornopop interact on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/twolazytigers — In 1996, they began working together in their parents‘ basement, making music with their Roland drum machine and two months later went into late-night sessions in studios all over Reykjavík, recording at nights, sleeping at days. The outcome was the highly acclaimed album ‘Blue’ which helped them land tour dates with Sigur Rós. Five years later they began writing music for their next album. This time they used the dB studio owned by friend, Arnar Helgi Aðalsteinsson, from IDM/experimental band Plat (and producer for Ampop, among others). Pornopop & Arnar recorded and produced the album ‘…and the slow songs about the dead calm in your arms’. — |2) A minor Czech beat/rock band formed around Belica brothers. Pornopop was a young club-based band, which relesed a demo album and a single at 2003. Pornopop was last seen live at 2005, and is probably disbanded at this time.| |
