Next week it all goes down—Iceland Airwaves in all its cross-cultural, hipper-than-thou glory. Ahead of it, we’re airing a few mixes from some of the bands playing. Today’s contribution to our ongoing series comes from Kronos Quartet, a string collective who has played with everyone from Bjork to Bowie. But at Airwaves, it’ll be all about them, and a super special performance with Icelandic treasures, mum.
Listen below. For more, please take in offerings from Paul Corley, Seratones, Conner Youngblood, Ambátt, Coals,Let’s Eat Grandma, CeaseTone, Samaris, Leyya, and Pétur Ben. Coming with us to the land of ice and fire? Rad. Grab any last minute festival info you might need here.
