Flotation Device interview with Anna Thorvaldsdottir

If Björk is Iceland’s best-known pop singer, then Anna Thorvaldsdottir is its best-known composer, noted for her visceral music that conveys—in its own distinctive way—the sounds of the sea and the mountains that surrounded her growing up in a small coastal town. She joined Flotation Device host Michael Schell to talk about her two new recordings, her early influences, her current projects, and the role of Björk on putting Icelandic music on the map.
