Tilbury | Music Profile

 

Icelandic band Tilbury was founded by drummer Thormodur Dagsson (Skakkamange, Jeff Who?, Hudson Wayne) back in the summer of 2010 and was originally intended as a solo project, named Formadur Dagsbrunar, but quickly evolved into the full blown monster of a band that is Tilbury. The band play a sort of folk-synth-pop sound, not dissimilar to Grandaddy. It’s led by the synthesizers of Kristinn Evertsson (ex Valdimar) and the lush guitar sound of Orn Eldjarn (ex Brother Grass). Gudmundur Oskar (Hjaltalin) decorates the sound with his French-ish baselines and drummer Magnus Trygvason Eliasen (Sin Fang, Amiina, Moses Hightower) binds it all together with his dynamic drumming.

The band half from ultra cool Reykjavík in Iceland. Everyone I met during a holiday there was in a band. I guess with up to 20 hours of darkness a day during winter it makes sense to play rock n roll to cure the boredom. The band’s Exorcise LP has been one of my favourite album’s this year. An absolute gem of a record.

Tilbury’s debut album, ‘Exorcise’, was released in May 2012 on Record Records. Check it out here. Also have a watch/listen to the opening track from the album, ‘Tenderloin’, below:

Our Burgundy | Music Profile

 

I must admit I don’t know a lot about Our Burgundy but what I do know is that they rock! They’re two kids from Pomfret, Conneticut, Seth David Christian (guitar/vocals) and Alex Herr (drums), who have created a sort of Bush meets White Stripes sound. Don’t take my word for it, have a watch of their ‘Bad Things’ video below:
