The Fat Angel Sings

Icelandic singer songwriter ASGEIR covers the Nirvana song “Heart Shaped Box” he has a new album out “In the Silence” he is one of Icelands biggest ever selling artists Ásgeir Trausti is still on the rise here, but in his home country of Iceland he’s already massive. His debut album was the fastest-selling in Icelandic history; reportedly 1 in 10 people in the country own it, which seems more insane the more you think about it (Taylor Swift would have to sell 12 times what she does to achieve that here). If you want to conquer America, though, you could do worse than to nod to a band like Nirvana. This haunting, chilly cover with Ásgeir’s emotional falsetto shows what all the hÿþe is about.
