EMILIANA TORRINI (Iceland)
Following on from her critically acclaimed debut for Rough Trade Fisherman’s Woman, Me And Armini saw Iceland’s Emiliana Torrini rise to greatness with one of the best albums of 2008. Me And Armini is a hugely ambitious and aspirational pop recordwith Torrini’s soaring voice centre stage, bolstered by a rich gamutof musical styles. “Iceland is a big influence for me,” she explains of her unique music. “The landscape, the people, my family… my Aunt and I decided to go for a little drive. Six hours later we were on top of Snaefells glacier in the middle of the bright night. You could really feel the weird energy.”
