Hey mr. Walker :D Svavar Knútur, Icelandic troubadour here. I just wanted you to know that you have been a great influence and inspiration in my recent songwriting and I just love your songs! Need a miracle, Oh ma the sea is rising, a most peculiar place and She makes Signs are among my favorite songs in the universe (and also I've changed). Just love it! I wanted to send you a link to a video that was made to my song Yfir hóla og yfir hæðir (over hills and over heaths). It was much inspired by your songwriting and style. Yfir hóla og yfir hæðir music video
Maybe we can get together when I come back to Australia. Best wishes, Svavar Knútur
"...it’s like Kid Strange and Urban Blitz from the Doctors of Madness at
their most morose played Overhang Party, or a mogadon’d Peter Hammill
jamming with Van Der Graaf’s Graham Smith. Elsewhere, the singular
desolation is most reminiscent of the most down down moments of Nico’s
THE MARBLE INDEX or even of Jesse Colin Young’s The Youngbloods at
their most mercurial. But the Scrapes are still so original their music
ultimately don’t sound like nobody but themselves." Julian Cope
thanks for the music guys, it's magnificent to hear your voice and australian feel and you make me feel at home far away here in europe :) cheers, Jack
