about

Fufanu have announced the release of a series of EPs throughout 2018 – each one an exercise in exploring their multiple sonic personalities, from motorik and post-punk to alt-techno, to woozy avant-garde electronica.

dialogue i contains 4 bold and ground-breaking tracks, written while touring Sports all over the world. Listen to Me represents a dialogue between the two versions of lead singer Kaktus’ personalities. Himself, and his anxiety. The singer comments: “I get these weird anxiety spins sometimes and when Listen To Me was born I was really wondering if anyone was listening to me and I was feeling shit because of it. Then I wondered whether it was me that wasn’t listening to myself. I think that when I wrote it, the lyrics were directed towards others, but while finishing the track it turned into a dialogue between myself and the anxious version of myself.”

Once the band returned to Iceland after a long stint touring, they had a bag of demoes written at different junctures on the road, purposefully created with no regard for a unified sound. They were eager to release the tracks into the world as and when they were written, looking to capture the sense of urgency with which the songs were formed. However, they asked MC, DJ and producer Alap Momin to listen to the demoes and before they knew it, he was on a flight from Harlem to Iceland to work with the band.

One such ‘ballad’, a pensive electronica number named Hourglass, documents the processing of grief, specifically Einarsson’s experience of losing both of his grandparents whilst on tour. Contrastingly, opening track My New Trigger explores the addiction of new love.

The trio don’t care for being placed neatly into a box, which has never been more evident in their career to date as it is throughout each of these three EPs. Lead singer Kaktus Einarsson comments: “There’s this crazy need for people to always categorize everything. Life isn’t just on or off, good or bad – it’s everything in the middle.”
