Fresh music from Iceland

Tilbury TenderloinTenderloin is the first single released by new Icelandic band Tilbury. Their debut album is scheduled for release on May 7th. The Icelandic music press is convinced that this band will be the next big thing. Check it out for yourself. Might also want to see Tilbury on Facebook or listen to them on gogoyoko.

I wonder if the name of the band has anything to do with one of my favorite author’s, Þórarin Eldjárn, short story. He wrote a story named Tilbury in which a US soldier in Iceland during WW2, named Tilbury was actually a “tilberi”. A tilberi is one of the freakiest concepts in Icelandic folklore. It is a magical creature which woman can create to steal milk from the neighbors sheep and cows. Here’s how to make a tilberi.
