Watch: Hjaltalín perform 'Feels Like Sugar' live at Búðir
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater July 5th, 2010

Last month, when DiS went to Iceland, we were genuinely blown away by the brilliant orchestral pop of of seven-piece Hjaltalin, accompanied by the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra. It'd be bad of us, then, to not offer you a bit more from them.

The latest clip is of the Icelanders performing in a place called Búðir, which my Google map tells me is way out in the east of the island. It doesn't look like anybody else is around - that's probably the case for much of the country, though. They performed 'Feels Like Sugar', which is taken from their current LP Terminal. It's all been shot and produced by and for Iceland Inspires, who have a great deal more videos on their Vimeo page.

Beautiful.
