Icelandic art-pop artist Sunna Margrét’s released her debut album “Finger on Tongue” a singular tapestry woven with ghostly synths, heavy beats and whispered vocals. Margrét self-produced the record, which she released via her own Switzerland-based label, No Salad Records. Her eclectic, verging-on-avant-garde sound draws from such influences as CAN, The Space Lady and Suzanne Ciani. Margrét’s haunting delivery, would be right at home in a Twin Peaks dream sequence. The subtle electronica of the track “Chocolate” veers into Frou Frou territory at times, while “Come with Me” feels like it’s backed by a misbehaving dial tone and an insistent club beat.
Thanks to Margrét’s keen songwriting, “Finger on Tongue” proves bizarre to the point of being otherworldly, yet remains firmly rooted in the human experience.
