For those of us who like our pop a little psyched-out--pumped through loop pedals, chopped up in samplers, layered over itself, lost in reverb--Sin Fang Bous' Clangour comes as a welcome new listen. The first solo effort from Sindri Mar Sigfusson, founding member of Iceland's folksy Seabear, provides him a forum to experiment with his hitherto unheard electro-pop urges. Fans of Seabear will be surprised to hear Sigfusson breaking free of his band's slow, quiet folk lullabies in favour of curlicued and rainbow-splashed pop melodies. Comparisons to Animal Collective, Panda Bear and Caribou, which Clangour has garnered, are well-deserved, and are easy but not unfair to make, as their audiences should find much to enthuse about in this Nordic songmaker's particular guise.
