From Iceland — Serðir Monster: Tekið stærst upp í sig

Published May 18, 2010

Not really an ‘album’ of ‘music’, unless you think of Weird Al Yankovic as a ‘musician’ who makes ‘albums.’ TSUÍS sees Sverrir Stormsker’s alter-ego belting out an inane collection of familiar pop songs, with the lyrics altered to themes of political discontent, vague social criticism and sodomy. Perhaps it’s better to think of the whole thing as some sort of ironic concept art, or a fundraiser of some sort… in any case, this isn’t really music, but a self-humouring ode to tacky mediocrity and cheap wordplay, but without the energy and enthusiasm generally associated with such a project.
