THE DEVIL'S MOUTH Vol. 78: Memory Lane - Addi Tryggvason and Sólstafir's 'Svartir Sandar'
Description
Time flies by, and 2021 already marks the tenth anniversary of one of the most decisive albums in the history of Icelandic superstars Sólstafir. 'Svartir Sandar' was everything anyone could have wished from the cowboys of the ice - a massive double album, moody and thick with atmosphere, but also boasting some of the quartet's most notable songs every, including the show-stopping 'Fjara', which has been capturing hearts all over the world ever since.
Having been recently announced the band will signal this important landmark by playing 'Svartir Sandar' in full at the famous Roadburn Festival, we thought it was time to get their frontman "Addi" Tryggvason to reminisce a bit on it. Because we know few bands are as full of stories as Sólstafir, expectations were high, but we ended up with the longest Memory Lane episode so far and Addi's tales did not disappoint, as always.
Tune in now and discover why Addi often says jokingly that a book could be written about each Sólstafir album
