Watch Icelandic singer and composer Petur Ben in session

18 December 2014, 13:16 | Written by Sebastien Dehesdin

Like a dream in which things are familiar but just a little bit, y’know, peculiar, Petur Ben’s spellbinding guitar playing strays away from cliche or convention while his voice toes a poppier line, resulting in music that begs further investigation.

Here, one of Iceland’s foremost singer songwriters performs the beautiful but not at little unsettling “Painted Blue”, in a brief moment of downtime in between playing probably more sets than anyone else at this year’s Airwaves festival in Reykjavik.

Petur Ben's latest release, a soundtrack for Icelandic film Metalhead, is available on bandcamp.
