Icelandic artist Högni Egilsson - a member of indie gang Hjaltalín and the formidable GusGus - has signed with Erased Tapes and shared a teaser trailer for his debut LP.
The multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, and award-winning composer has been involved with many projects over the years, but now he's about to embark on a solo career proper - and with the backing of one of Europe's most leftfield labels, this could be a very interesting journey.
Högni was earlier this week confirmed for his new new label's birthday celebrations at End Of The Road Festival in September. Find out more.
Högni's debut album is due out later this year via Erased Tapes.
