Nouveau Disco of Gus Gus

Judging by how they look like and where they are from, nothing says Gus Gus are disco until you hear their latest album "Forever" (their fifth). To make matters worse, its availabilty is extremely limited.

GusGus was established in 1995. It started as a film/art/music collective group of 12 and through the years has narrowed down to the divine number of three; Biggi Veira, Earth and President Bongo.

Pall Oskar, ("the discodiva # 1" they say), lends his smooth voice on "Need In Me", as well as on "Hold You" with the Detroit native Aaron-Carl. Omar Gudjonsson lays his calloused fingers over "You'll never Change" and inspires both President Bongo and Veiran to do handle their own guitar necks in "Forever". "Professor" Ottarr Proppe pukes out the welcome words to "Forever". Mr. The President himself graces golden larynx through the track "If you don't jump, you're English" flashing rusted guitar samples from the everlasting Icelandic 80's punk band Purrkur Pillnikk and hammered power hi-hats by Helgi "HitHat" Helgason.

The current single from FOREVER is "Moss" featuring former GusGus lead singer, Daniel Moss, whose solo album "Swallowed A Star" is out now.
