Free New Crap: Popp & Co. by Dýrđin
October 10th, 2006 at 12:00 by Stuart Heritage
Downloading music is a minefield, isn't it? If you don't want to spend 79p per song on iTunes, you have to enter the murky world of illegal downloads where you run the risk of downloading a three second loop of a 1986 Cliff Richard song by accident.
That's where Free New Crap steps in; each week we give you a song to download that's a) free, b) legal and - for one week only - c) Icelandic as a bastard. Let us introduce you to Popp & Co. by Dýrđin. Iceland is typically known for making music that either sounds like two glaciers scraping together (hello Sigur Ros) or a mental witch making music with only her throat (howdy Bjork). But Popp & Co by Dýrđin is different because the female-fronted Dýrđin seem to have a bit of a love affair going on with the ramalama sound of Phil Spector producing The Ramones. An Icelandic Puffy AmiYumi is as close to a comparison as we're probably going to get.
Popp & Co. is one such sugary blast and - even though we haven't got a clue what Dýrđin are going on about - it's stayed in our head like a tenacious earworm for days. Dýrđin are also currently touring America, which is deeply unfair because we'd quite like them to come here, too.
