Maybe it's just a personal thing, but I get so much grounding from Iceland because I know it's always going to be there. I have a very happy, healthy relationship with the country, so it's really easy to go everywhere because I always have Iceland to go back to. It's sort of a contradiction, but that's how it works somehow.

I thought I could organise freedom/How Scandinavian of me.

I don't like records that are the same from beginning to end, that are too styled and slick. Everything is so designed and airbrushed and Botoxed, it makes us think, 'Oh, everybody's perfect except me. Everything's smooth except me.' But nothing is smooth.

I don't really have an ego. I'm not that bothered.

There is this stereotype of Icelanders all believing in spirits, and I've played up to that a bit in interviews.

I'm not that keen on fierce dictatorship. I think that sort of the point of working with somebody is them coming up with stuff and feeling free to do that.

Pedaling through the dark currents, I find an accurate copy. A blue print of the pleasure in me.
