From Iceland — Trúbatrix

Published September 1, 2009

Trúbatrix – Taka 1 is a compilation of all female musicians (both known
and unknown) that are brought together with the idea of creating a
unified network in which they can work to raise their profiles and
create a supportive working environment. The album is pretty relaxed
and cosy. It wouldn’t be what I would listen to in order to motivate
myself in the morning, but I enjoyed it nonetheless, even if on a
slightly frivolous level. The album covers a variety of sounds, ranging
from singer/songwriter/folk to blues, with some light poppy tracks in
there too. This gives the album an air of variety, while the styles are
similar enough that it still sounds pretty cohesive. On the whole it’s
a good album and worth listening to, but maybe a bit lacking in
substance at points. It is however nice to be able to lend support to
this new artistic community.
