Hoover & Lincoln - Split 7"
(Art Monk Construction – [AMC 01], 1993) [USA]

I haven't yet posted a group from Iceland, but it should come as no surprise that the first group be The Sugarcubes, or the band before Björk's solo career, and the biggest group to ever come out of Iceland. I'm grateful, too, that they decided to include some songs sung in Icelandic! What a beautiful sounding language.
