Um vikuskiftið leiktu fimm føroysk tónleikanøvn á íslendska tónleikafestivalinum Iceland Airwaves í Reykjavík.
Ummælini vóru góð, og nú hevur - helst heimsins leiðandi tónleikatíðarrit - Rolling Stone eisini hildið tað vera nevnivert, at góð føroysk nøvn vóru á palli.
Rolling Stone:
«Day two kicks off with that rarest of things – Western inspired electro-rock from the Faroe Islands. That’s the elevator pitch from Koboykex, who turn out to be an unexpected delight over at Reykjavik’s IÐNÓ Culture House. Recent single ‘Night Out‘ is irresistible, as subtle electro-pop rhythms fight against Morricone-esque whistling and instrumentation.»
“The final day of Iceland Airwaves 2022 begins at the festival’s main centre, where Faroese rap – that most common of exports – is gunning for the big time. It comes in the form of Marius DC, an energetic eighteen-year-old who is hellbent on proving that his sound transcends the confines of his home island. His impressive stage presence sees him jumping into the crowd to whip up an early evening crowd, while songs such as ‘Gasoline‘ lean into classic West Coast rap. Along with the aforementioned Kóboykex, it’s proof that the Faroese music scene is slowly introducing itself to the world.»
