About

Combining the talents of a pop sensation, an actor, a DJ, a photographer, a computer programmer, two film directors, a politician and a teen star, the Icelandic collective Gus Gus arrive at a forward-looking Alt Dance sound that mimics the cinematic aesthetic in form, not content. Treating weighty rhythms, dramatic sound effects and textured vocals delivering emotive lyrics as equally important aspects of a multilayered plot, these commercial favorites offer up highly interpretative tunes that take care not to sacrifice accessibility for intelligence. With an ever-evolving style that borrows moves from hip-hop, Techno, Electro-Funk and Soul, Gus Gus entice your eardrums while leading an expedition into the unknown depths of your visual imagination.
