From Iceland — Hermigervill - Sleepwork

Published October 7, 2005

There really aren’t that many clubs with good dance music in Reykjavík. One wonders where Hermigervill honed his craft. In any case, he’s got good beats and nice melodies—more raw and aggressive than Beatmakin Troopa’s (also mentioned in these reviews.) Hermigervill also has an ear for haunting refrains that he balances throughout this album, for example, in the form of a triad of piano chords on track fourteen, Murdock’s Records.
