In Cod We Trust

It seems that when Iceland's godfather of punk rock Einar Orn (former Sugarcubes and K.U.K.L. front man) enlists another artist to work with him, it's like collaborating with the Cubists or the Dadaists in musical form. His partner in this case, with the movement named Ghostigital, is Curver. An Icelandic multi-instrumentalist, Curver's background is as eclectic as the music he dabbles in: a producer, artist, a remixer (Sigur Ros), a music teacher. Ghostigital's Les Demoiselles de Avignon is named In Cod We Trust. While the genre-mashing In Cod We Trust pulls the aesthetic rug out from under a listener's expectations, one should not fear that they are lost in a pop music sea. Ghostigital fashions an aural forest of industrial, bel canto, jazz, rap, '80s new wave, and electronic music -- just not necessarily in that order or only at one time.
