"I would call it beautiful, but gorgeous doesn..t even begin to describe it. Simply put, it..s the kind of music you..ll pay import prices for, and while you wait for your CD to arrive, you..ll listen to the same songs on MySpace over and over and over."
Emily Strong. Soundcheck magazine, US.
"id is an album that quietly sparkles with deep-space lullabies and headphone techno. Most tracks are remiscent of the richly hued and kaleidoscopic designs of a Cubist painting, they are busy stretches of sonic swirls, riding a shuffling groove. But the jewel in the album..s crown belongs to "Sofdu med ljosid a," a gorgeous digital epic that captures the heart with its warm washes of muted synths. Like a hot spike burning through ice, the song cuts deep and betrays a sadness so lovely, it hurts. At present, Biggi has yet to crack the North American market. Until he does, id remains a tiny gem tucked away in a cove of obscurity, making it a valuable find."
Imran Khan, Inside Entertainment, Canada
my name is Birgir Orn Steinarsson, i've been the singer/guitarist of icelandic band Maus for quite some time now. everyone calls me biggi, and your welcome to do so as well. i moved from my hometown of reykjavik, iceland, to London late 2004, to focus on my creative work. there i finished my debut solo album called "id", wich was released by 12 tónar in iceland and scandinavia mid october ..06.
the album was produced by tim simenon and geoff smith and mixed by jono podmore.
i also work as a producer, producing both my own album with them and others. so far ive recorded albums with kimono, lokbra and bag of joys. recently i've been doing some remixes for other bands. send me a line, if you have some music you would like me to bigitize!...
currently i..m back in iceland again slowly working on my second album. i..ve put all performances on hold and i..m hoping to release a new album next year, 2009... when i..ve had time to finish. some of the song will feature the bigital orchestra, my gang in London, but other guests will be on it as well...
my old band maus have just released a new song, eerrrr... well, it was recorded in september 2004 but it hasn..t seen the light of day until now. the new song, called cover my eyes, has been made available for download with our entire catalog online through grapewire.net. see below.
