SUNNA MARGRÉT
Of Sunna Margrét’s debut album Finger on Tongue, The Quietus wrote: “Oddball Icelandic pop packs a dense punch, heavy with ideas.” Her music fuses hypnotic rhythms, jagged synth lines and raw, magnetic vocals, creating songs that are playful and unsettling. Electronic Sound called it “weaving reinvented trip-hop,” while Sunna cites CAN’s experimental drive, Suzanne Ciani’s synth futurism and PJ Harvey’s intensity as influences.
The album won international acclaim, with Paste naming it one of the “40 Best Debut Albums of 2024” and featured her Iceland Airwaves 2024 set among the festival’s ten best performances noting “I’ll not soon forget Margrét’s kaleidoscopic, unearthly show”. The Line of Best Fit praised Sunna’s performance as “spacey, dramatic, rhythmically hypnotising,” while KEXP’s Kevin Cole also singled her out as a highlight, having already interviewed her for an in-studio session earlier that year. Sunna has also appeared at The Great Escape (UK), ESNS (NL), SXSW (US) and most recently Iceland Airwaves 2025.
REVENGE OF CALCULON

LEFTLION MAGAZINE
