Iceland is effortlessly cool. Bjork is from there. Sigur Rós are from there. The accent is beautiful. The landscape is beautiful. The people are beautiful. Their style is unique. The documentary Heiml on Sky Arts last night featured Sigur Rós’ homecoming tour of 2006 and is the most effective promotion of a place I have ever seen. Is there an Irish band that could make an equivalent programme, are there settings as inspiring in this country, are we as cool as the Icelanders? We think we are.
I’ve never been to Iceland but I know now that it’s the greatest place on earth.
