S53E16 Now Hear This – “The Iceland Sound”
Despite having a smaller population than Wichita, Kansas, Iceland punches far above its weight in world-class musicians. To uncover the secret behind this phenomenon, Scott Yoo journeys across the country’s dramatic, rain-soaked volcanic landscape. Along the way, he sits down with composers Anna Thorvaldsdottir and Daniel Bjarnason, indie artist JFDR, skilled instrument makers, music historians, and even one of Iceland’s most celebrated chefs.
