'This is a gorgeous solo debut from the former singer with Icelandic electro-pop outfit Gus Gus.
In a fragile voice that recalls Stina Nordenstam, Hafdis Huld sings dreamy, disjointed pop over gentle backings,
with barbed lyrics that snag under the delicate surfaces. One song is called Ice Cream is Nice, but elsewhere,
it sounds like she's offering it to some hapless ex, spiked with acid.' |
'Hafdis Huld has a painstakingly fragile, quirky voice - like Bjork crossed with Cerys Matthews on a diet of candyfloss.
Her solo album delivers some minimal but deliciously skewed pop as Huld belies her gooey vocals and strummed acoustics
with dark concerns and some satisfyingly nasty lyrics.'

'Icelandic singer-songwriter Hafdis Huld specialises in intricate, imaginative songs. Inspired by her love of classic
songwriters like Burt Bacharach, Dirty Paper Cup includes everything from campfire ballads with catchy choruses and
finger-plucked guitars to DIY pop with wonky keyboards and honeyed vocals.' |
