Being a offbeat coed nine-piece from Reykjavik, Iceland, Gus Gus was around bound to inspire comparisons to the Sugarcubes, though the onset of ten long time caused the grouping to inherit the influences of electronic blur and trip-hop rhythms instead than the tear of post-punk insaneness that godlike the Sugarcubes during the late '80s. Begun as a flick theatre headache in early 1995 by filmmakers Stefán Ãrni and Siggi Kjartansson, the radical was gradually expanded to include musicians such as DJ Herb Legowitz and programmer Biggi Thórarinsson as well as singer/songwriters DanÃel Ãgúst, HafdÃs Huld, and Magnús Jónsson (former actors all), a cameraman (Steph), and a producer (Baldur Stefánsson). The band's unquestionably indie sensibilities light-emitting junction rectifier to their signing by 4AD after a four-part series of terpsichore shuffle in EPs during 1996. Among a handful of groups in the late '90s with access to both tight knit dance circles as well as the notoriously highly strung indie community, the group gained documentation from LFO (with Mark Bell's remix of "Believe") and i of London's about notable DJ stores, Fat Cat Records, spell playacting their first twenty-four hours of the month in England. Given a combined U.S./U.K. deprivation due to 4AD's agreement with Warner Bros., their debut album, Polydistortion, slay the stores in April 1997. This Is Normal followed in 1999, and one year by and by the anthology outlet Gus Gus vs. T-World appeared. 2002 power power saw the handout of Care; Motley Live appeared a year later. The group returned with new material in 2007 with Forever and a day.
