'Our Viking cousins ... are producing female singer-songwriters of originality, mystery and imagination - women worth
getting worked up about. Hafdis Huld grew up with folk music but for her it was the stories that stuck, "Elves and stuff
- because I've got a really overactive imagination I embrace all that", she says, her accent treacle-thick despite 5 years
in London. Her album, Dirty Paper Cup, was made after a series of adventures both musical and dramatic, but is full
of wide-eyed innocence and curiosity. "I start writing all my music as stories, as poems", she says, "because I really
don't want to write about (she puts on a nasal ballad voice) how much I love you and you love me and I feel your breathing
and your touch. That seriously isn't all people think about - not even girls."' |

'Hafdis Huld is proof that Iceland's waters breed elfin pop stars who are musically original and deliciously bonkers.'
'Sublime - charismatic story-telling pop of the highest quality.' |
