Steintryggur is embarking on a small tour of Iceland in middle May.

They will be promoting their new CD Trappa, which took 4 years to complete and was recorded in a variety of locations with performances by local virtuosos. Mixed and edited by Australian Ben Frost, the CD takes unexpected turns into the realms of the electro acoustic. Organic grooves and audio terror ensues.

Siggi recently gave us an interview where he talks about Steintryggur and the new album. We will now like to share this with you and give you a little insight into this amazing project.

The touring group consists of Steingrimur on tabla and various percussion, Sigtryggur on trap kit and Ben Frost on the mac and mix. Kippi Kaninus is also known to drop in and work his special form of jaw harp and overtone vocal in the mix. A good and hearty, arty farty party!

Here are the dates for the Icelandic tour, which begins tomorrow night:

14.mai Höfn - Pakkhúsið 21.00
15.mai Húsavik - Gamli Baukur 21.00
16.mai Akureyri - Græni Hatturinn 22.00
17.mai Isafjörður - Edinborgarhúsið 22.00
18.mai Stykkishólmur - Vatnasafnið 20.00

Trappa is out now in shops around Iceland and online at http://www.smekkleysa.net
