Dystopic dancing

February 1, 2018 12:17 PM

Into the Dark is a music video for the new single by teenage indie duo Between Mountains from the rural Westfjords region of Iceland. The video portrays a society where dark-suited people must mimic everything their brightly-clothed betters do. Dancing ensues. The group, comprising Katla Vigdís Vernharðsdóttir and Ásrós Helga Guðmundsdóttir came to prominence after winning last year's Músíktilraunir, a national battle-of-the-bands. Their winning performance can be seen here (scroll down). They also performed for Seattle based KEXP last year, which can be seen here. While normally using keyboards and vocals, they do also sometimes break out an accordion.

I sorta thought Stanley Tucci would come out dancing out with a Mastadon tusk and orange parka.

The accordion vid is awesome... We should have accordion Friday's.

Who is the older gentleman in the video, he looks familiar.

Wonderful vids, nice find!

I love the xylophone! Xylophones should be used more often, I think. Gorgeous harmonies, nice find!
