Performing live in Reykjavík ! ! ! JFDR with Albert Finnbogason (guitar/bass) Tumi Árnason (saxophone) & Magnús Trygvason Eliassen (drums) + very special JFDR & SLUGZ (áslaug of Samaris) ambient set as support tickets : 2000 ISK - - - - JFDR, the latest project from Iceland's Jófríður Ákadóttir (Samaris, Pascal Pinon, Gangly), is a blend of cyclical guitar parts, soft minimal soundscapes, and poetic wonderings of a journey that ends where it began. Drawing from classical, folk, and electronic backgrounds, JFDR amalgamates the sounds of changing seasons, her voice a current that moves from rough seas to smooth waters. But perhaps JFDR shines the most in her capacity as a wordsmith, employing rich imagery to evoke the subtle emotions embedded in each song. Her first full length album, co-produced with legendary multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily, was released March 17th 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eikLsHzfpL4 https://jfdr.bandcamp.com/releases https://www.facebook.com/jfdrcurrent/ https://soundcloud.com/jfdrcurrent

Out of a job, they decide to go into business for themselves, setting up as professional supernatural eliminators. Starting out with only a converted fire station and a beat-up ambulance to their name, the Ghostbusters quickly become local heroes when the city sees a dramatic rise in paranormal activity and a giant marshmallow threatens its very existence.
