BSI
Sometimes Depressed… but Always Antifascist
(Tomatenplatten/Cargo)

⭑⭑⭑⭑

REYKJAVIKIANS Silla Thorarensen on drums and vocals and Julius Pollux Rothlaender on bass guitar and toe-synths are the duo BSI, whose debut album Sometimes Depressed… but Always Antifascist both intrigues and rewards.

Despite a nod and a wink to punk, musically their influences are drawn as much from Nordic ballads as skald traditions.

Thorarensen’s dreamy, crystalline voice defines the mood throughout as it ebbs and flows effortlessly, accompanied by its own subtle echos and minimalist instrumentation.
