Singapore Sling is an enigmatic Icelandic band hailing from Reykjavik, with a sound deeply rooted in psychedelic rock, post-punk, and noir-art noise. The band was founded around the year 2000 by Henrik Björnsson, a visionary musician and songwriter who sought to combine the raw energy of punk with the swirling hallucinatory effects of psych music, producing a darkly distinctive blend that defies easy categorization. Singapore Sling draws upon an array of influences from Velvet Underground to The Jesus and Mary Chain, crafting a musical persona that's as brooding and rebellious as it is hypnotically melodic.

Throughout their career, Singapore Sling has cultivated a reputation for producing gritty, lo-fi records that are as comfortably at home in the dingy corners of an underground rock club as they are resonating through the headphones of a solitary listener. With releases like "The Tower of Foronicity" (2014) and "Psych Fuck" (2015), they have consistently honed their craft, infusing their music with a sense of urgent desolation and raw, untamed energy. Their more recent works, including "Kill Kill Kill (Songs About Nothing)" (2017), "Killer Classics" (2019), and "Good Sick Fun With Singapore Sling" (2020), continue to showcase their commitment to a sound that is unapologetically chaotic and relentlessly cool, making them pillars in the realm of modern neo-psychedelia and garage rock revival.
