Watch: Sleepless in Reykjavik Episode II ft. Hjaltalin + more
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater July 9th, 2010

Last week we ran the first episode of 'Sleepless In Reykjavik', which offers us a look at the various musical things going on in Iceland's capital city. It was quite enjoyable and featured the likes of Olafur Arnalds and other Icelandic musical luminaries. We promised you more.

And there is more, this time featuring some behind the scenes action from Hjaltalin, with footage of their preparations for their grand show with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, a concert which we attended and duly reviewed here. Watch the new episode below, as ever fronted by Gunnar B. Guðbjörnsson in his shades, in the woods.

The Sleepless In Reykjavik WebTv Series - Episode 2 from Gussi - Sleepless In Reykjavik on Vimeo.

Also keep your eyes open for our interview with Hjaltalin's lead-man Högni in the coming days, as we had a chat with him at a school playground in Iceland a few weeks ago. He's an interesting man, for sure. Click here to keep up to date with the video series.
