Gruska Babuska

Grúska Babúska is an Icelandic band known for their unique sound, which blends elements of electronic, synth, melodic, acoustic, and twisted Icelandic fairy tale music. Initially a four-piece female band based in Reykjavík, they later evolved into a trio. Their music often features instruments like music boxes, glockenspiel, and peculiar percussion, creating a distinctive bubble of sound. Grúska Babúska released their debut album in March 2013 with the UK label Static Caravan, a notable release that was co-produced by Mike Lindsay of Tunng and distributed on a USB babushka doll. Their more recent releases include titles like "Tor" and "Princess?".

The band's eclectic style and creative approach to music have garnered attention for their out-of-space, wonky soundscapes. With their roots firmly planted in Reykjavík, Grúska Babúska has set their sights on the global music scene, offering a refreshing blend of Icelandic storytelling and musical innovation.
