An Icelandic artist whose solo work blends electronic music with themes of nature and emotion.
For a sense of her range, listen to 'Human Behaviour' and 'Arisen My Senses.' They frame the arc from her early solo work to her recent output.
Her music moves from the accessible pop of 'Venus As a Boy' to the more experimental structures of songs like 'Jóga.' She's also composed film scores, like for 'Dancer in the Dark,' and her 1996 swan dress at the Oscars became a defining public moment. Later albums like 'Vulnicura' and 'Fossora' keep pushing her sound forward.
She started in the punk band Spit and Snot as a kid, then co-founded The Sugarcubes in 1985 before going solo in 1992. Her first album 'Debut' came out in 1993, followed by records like 'Homogenic' in 1997 and 'Vespertine' in 2001.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
