A lovely blast of exuberance from the Icelandic six-piece. It’s the tale of a fight between birds and bees, narrated by a dragonfly who’s apparently the pet of a son of an unspecified animal. The music makes more sense, beginning quietly with Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, and Ragnar órhallsson harmonizing over acoustic guitar before building into an upbeat climax that Arcade Fire or fellow countrymen Sigur Rós would be proud of.
