Welcome to  66 Degrees of Sound by The Reykjavík Grapevine, where Grapevine journalists Rex Beckett and Jóhannes Bjarkason discuss the latest Icelandic music releases. Your one-stop shop for brand new Icelandic music, join us every Friday for the weekly roundup.

In this episode, we meet up with Úlfur Eldjárn who walks us through the journey of his new single, 'Continuum'. We also hear some new indie rockers from Akureyri who are avoiding a hike; discover a new track by Biggi Maus in support of mental abuse survivors; and get another good one from friend of the show Sævar Jóhannsson. Tangents include: Jói's recent adventure in NYC and the Eurovision winner conspiracy theories (we love you, Käärijä).
