Best known for his angelic vocals with the Icelandic rock band, Jónsi Birgisson is turning his hand to future pop, perfumery and sex toy-themed art
Around 2010, Jónsi Birgisson, the angel-voiced frontman of Icelandic post-rock experimentalists Sigur Rós, had plans to start a new musical side project called Olympic Boys. While it didn’t pan out, he’s still a big fan of its chosen genre. “Yes, I love gay techno!” he smiles, before revealing he can often be found driving around his adopted home of LA listening to Pride radio and its hi-energy selection of “classic
Lady Gaga and shit like that”.
