Nordic Sounds Q1 2012 ft. Hanne Hukkelberg, Miike Snow, The New Spring
As we are now well into April and past what some mentally unhealthy people may term "Q1", it seems like a pretty good time to take stock of what's been happening in the Nordic countries over the past few months, aside from it being dark and cold. Once more we are not disappointed with the musical wares on offer or, at least, we left the disappointing bits out as it wouldn't befit the tone of this piece. »
Iceland Airwaves 2011 - The DiS review
There is just something about Iceland. In reality it is not one single thing but a combination of them, from the people, the weather, the city of Reykjavík and, above all, all of these distilled in a few days in the middle of October that make up the annual Airwaves festival. Although 2011's edition was marked by several performances of Björk's Biophilia at the resplendelty and long-awaited Harpa Music Hall, it's quite arguably not what Airwaves is about. That said, every festival is helped by a "marquee" performance or two and Sinead O'Connor made an appearance, too.»

Slottsfjell 2011, Norway - The DiS review
Slottsfjell is situated in Tønsberg, a medium-sized town on the Oslofjord. As a festival it is partly comparable and partly incomparable to anything in the UK, but on the whole more leaning towards incomparable. A festival is about music, but what makes a festival is often not the greatness of the line-up or performances alone. People and atmosphere are a huge part and you'll be hard-pushed to find a better bunch of people to party with than the Norwegians. »
