For some people his music is trip hop or electronic, for others he reminds of Ennio Morricone and Serge Gainsbourg. But Icelandic songwriter Barði Johannsson doesn’t need any label.

Other music outsiders from Iceland are Björk and Sigur Rós: enigmatic, sophisticated and eclectic Barði Johannsson is a songwriter and producer, the former leader of Bang Gang and part of the duo Lady & Bird with the refined Israeli singer Keren Ann.
