Push Play (Remixes)

Worm Is Green was originally founded as bedroom elektronica project by Arni Teitur Asgeirsson. Meanwhile, it has become a band of five, also featuring Bjarni Thor Hannesson (sampler and synthesizer), Thorsteinn Hannesson (drums), Vilberg Hafsteinn Jonsson (bass) and Gudridur Ringsted (vocals). Their debut album Automagic was released on Thule in 2003 and published once again on the US label Arena Rock in 2004.

Push Play is a perfect blend of British New Wave, the 4AD-sound of the Cocteau Twins and essential Portishead-like Trip-Hop. The result: dazzling and elegant pop jewels which, however, do not deny their intense contemporary ambient influences. Like icing on a cake, the second disc in this set is a Worm is Green comprehensive remix anthology. All remixes (except one by the Estonian producer Kaido Kirikmae) have been made by Icelandic musicians. "We have asked all our favorite producers for remixes, and most of them agreed right away. This was just great and a considerable honor since we have not worked together with the entire elite of the Icelandic electronic music scene", says Arni.

Offbeat breaks, cool electro beats, and minimal house all build up to an exciting finish to another epic Mikrolux masterpiece!
