Influences: "Every passing minute, is another chance to turn it all around."Dirty black snow crunching under foot, sunrises over Lake Michigan, the grime in the gutters, steam escaping a manhole, dilapidated buildings on the west side, sweaty loft parties, late night taco joints, too much to drink, too many cigarettes smoked, pissed off cabbies, speeding on Lake Shore Drive, teeth rattling potholes, the setting sun reflected off skyscapers, wheels sparking from a subway car...another dead hooker.

Sounds Like: I had been away from Iceland for over a year and when I returned for New Year I stayed on top of a mountain. I went for a walk on my own and I saw the ice was thawing in the lava fields. All I could hear was the crackle of the ice, echoing over hundreds of square miles. It was pitch black, The Northern Light were swirling around and just below them was a layer of thick cloud. I could see the lights from all the towns of my childhood mirrored in the reflections of these clouds, with the lava fields crackling below. It was really techno.... -Bjork
