Future Forecast (CD)

Jakob Magnússon has lived many lives. After forming Iceland’s legendary Stuðmenn back in high school, Magnússon spent the next five decades as a multi-disciplinary artist, never standing still for long. While Stuðmenn have remained active since the ‘70s, Magnússon also maintained a prolific rhythm as a solo musician, and produced television and film; he worked as an environmental activist, and helped enact legislation in Iceland that benefitted local creatives. And yet, nothing had prepared him for what would happen when he slowed all of that down for a moment and gathered a new group of musicians at one of the quietest corners of Iceland with the simplest of premises: Let’s play and see what happens.
