Details:
In the bleak late winter months of 2006, poet Valur Gunnarsson had been researching material around the Baltic Sea for a novel . His travels in Finland brought him finally to St. Petersburg where he met up with the icelandic composer gĂmaldin in a dirty, ragged bar called Tzinnik. The late night welcoming party culminated in the poet bringing forth lyrics which had come to him during his quest. Being occupied with his novel, the poet left it to the composer to create the platform for the execution of the lyrics. The music, composed under the freezing Russian cold was then transported to merry, sunny Iceland for further studio work. The artistic climate was ripe with creativity, luring some of Iceland´s finest instrumentalists into the blend.
The release however, was put back, as the poet had revert to his author personality to materialize his novel - and the composer was summoned back to his dealings in Russia.
Finally, a stroke of kismet brought the parties involved in close enough proximity to one another - in the end of summer 2008, to ascend the music to the next level of existance. With an accommodating distribution deal with independent label Kimi Records, the album was set to go.
And now, we bring you - Vodka Songs !!!!
