Bónus Skór - Bónus Skór

Review by Ade Surya Febriardy

Bónus Skór's self-titled album is a delightful blend of traditional Icelandic folk music and contemporary pop. The band's unique sound is a result of their use of traditional Icelandic instruments such as the langspil, the fiðla, and the Icelandic bagpipes, combined with modern electronic beats and synthesizers.

The album features ten tracks, each with its distinct flavor and style. The opening track, "Bónus Skór," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. "Hljóðheimur" is a hauntingly beautiful track, featuring soulful vocals and a melancholic melody.

The album's production is top-notch, with every track sounding crisp and polished. The band's musicianship is also impressive, with each member showcasing their skills on their respective instruments. The album's lyrics are in Icelandic, but the band's emotive delivery ensures that the meaning of the songs is conveyed even to non-Icelandic speakers.

Summary by Ade Surya Febriardy

Bónus Skór's debut album is a must-listen for fans of world music and those looking for something unique and fresh. The band's fusion of traditional and modern elements is executed flawlessly, making this album a standout in its genre.
