Description
Paddan – “Fluid Time” LP
Blissed-out experimental soundscapes, with a touch of dub, jazz, post rock, from – where else? – Iceland, of course. Padden are primarily a bass/drum two-piece: Sigtryggur Baldursson and Birgir Mogensen, who have played music together since they were teenagers – significantly, in KUKL and then the Sugarcubes, plus many other collaborations over the years (from Killing Joke to Howie B to Emiliana Torrini). Accompanying the bass/rhythm lead grooves are warm, spacey soundwaves from a modular synth and trumpet. Like Tortoise and Sigur Rós, perfect for chilled out late night sessions, when the mood needs to be just right…
