Icelandic trap super-group GANGLY add more colour to their blistering sound with "Holy Grounds"
The last time we wrote about GANGLY, we didn't quite know who they were although we had a good idea.
But speculation kills the mystery and we waited it out until their Airwaves show to confirm our suspicions that it actually Samaris' Jofridur, Sin Fang/Seabear's Sindri and Oyama's Ulfur pulling the strings behind the enticing slow loop of "Fuck With Someone Else".
Their live show, complete with its dominating and quite unsettling visuals, revealed an epic depth to the trio: if Massive Attack had come from Reykjaviík in 2016 they'd probably sound like GANGLY.
A few months shy of two years since that first track, we're getting a new track. "Holy Grounds" amps up the emotion and vocal fuckery over a skewed trap backbeat and offers up nothing less than we'd expect from the Icelandic power-trio. It expands the m.o. that "fuck with someone else" set out in strident musical brushstrokes.
This is a band and a sound to get very excited about - and they're back for Iceland Airwaves in November too.
