Ever on account that the free up of bangers equivalent to Spenfrelsi (e. Nipple freedom) and Hóra Kapítalismans (e. Capitalist's Whore), the rise of Krakk & Spaghettí–Reykjavíokay's newest rap clan–has been unstoppable. The community all started out by competing in a track contest to write down and operate the worst song."We were in 2d location, so we notion to ourselves, howdy, we're now not that dangerous–we're most effective 2nd worst!" Margrét recalls, to the laughter of her bandmates Atli and Þorgerður.
Þorgerður, a red-haired rapper currently studying tune construction beneath the tutelage of veteran rap duo, Úlfur Úlfur, is the founding father of Krakk & Spaghettí. Atli, her boyfriend, makes the beats and is discovering song mixing in the meanwhile. The cheerful third-wheeling, Margrét Aðalheiður, is the band's image fashion designer in addition to a rapper.
Þorgerður and Margrét aren't most effective rappers however also angelic choir-singers. They classify their rap as cute, with their professed main intention being to no longer take themselves too critically. Margrét announcing "commonly, we're all total buffoons." "And we need to add extra silliness to the Icelandic track scene." Þorgerður adds. (they have a addiction of finishing each and every other's sentences.)
The band invites me up to their attic. The tiny area is full of flowers, teddy bears, old magazines and song equipment. Atli makes coffee while Margrét and Þorgerður pet a lazy cat. We get all the way down to the story of how it all started.
Þorgerður: "i wished to use my Christmas holiday to rap, by and large to be humorous on Twitter."
Margrét: "Then me and Þorgerður acquired totally under the influence of alcohol at a party and we wrote a track collectively referred to as 'Krakk og Spagettí, Magg og swagettí'. every little thing in our lifestyles has came about on account of Twitter–similar to our collaboration with okayött Grá Pjé."
On a whim, Krakk og Spaghettí invited rapper kött Grá Pjé to collaborate with them by the use of Twitter. They perhaps didn't predict him to say yes, but he did–with the results speakme for themselves. They've additionally asked Emmsjé Gauti if he would share the instrumental edition of his smash hit 'Bara ég og strákarnir' (e. simply me and the boys) in order that they might make their own edition of 'Bara ég og skátarnir' (Je. ust me and the Scouts). The band is still waiting on his reply.
The group concurs that okayött Grá Pjé is one of their largest inspirations. taking part with him changed into therefore one of the crucial band's highlights,, as well as having him operate an intimate set at Þorgerður's 21st birthday celebration. they are saying Reykjavíkurdætur additionally had a big impact on them, performing as role models for women seeking to damage into the Icelandic rap scene.
The band has performed off-venue at Iceland Airwaves, alongside Reykjavíkurdætur at the ladies's rap night, in addition to at Húrra's #Freethenipple event. When requested about their usual gig to date, the band names the Dude competition within the one-horse city of Djúpavogur. They carried out at Langabúð, a small bar they proudly stuffed with drunk individuals.
Krakk & Spaghettí's songs may also be silly, but also tend to focal point on the considerations which count number to them. 'Spenfrelsi' is a song they wrote in social gathering of #Freethenipple, a crusade near them, as signified in their iconic topless spaghetti picture. 'Trúarjátning' is a political song about religion and youngsters's affirmation in Iceland, while 'Hóra Capitalismans'–smartly, the title speaks for itself.
