Jakobinarina

Jakobinarina are apparently Icelandic teenagers, but their sound defies anything imagined from the tag “Icelandic teenager”.
The first song here from Edinburgh based singer-songwriter Steve Adey, ‘Everything In Its Right Place’ is apparently a cover of a Radiohead song, something I didn’t realise as the brooding, intense delivery gives it more of an air of an acoustic Nirvana or Pearl Jam song.
The debut single from Zoey Van Goey lies in a similar vein to the uplifting, jangling pop of Tilly and the Wall, minus the latter’s tapdancing percussion but very enjoyable nevertheless.
These two bands have previously spent time under the Fence Collective umbrella prior to releasing this joint single on new Anstruther label Nekkid Records.
“Music To Play Loud” is label Framingo’s motto, and neither band on this split single is the shy and retiring type.
