Being a offbeat coed nine-piece from Reykjavik, Iceland, Gus Gus was about bound to inspire comparisons to the Sugarcubes, though the onset of ten-spot long sentence caused the grouping to inherit the influences of electronic tomentum and trip-hop rhythms rather than the tear of post-punk lunacy that divine the Sugarcubes during the late '80s. Begun as a motion-picture show theatre head ache in early 1995 by filmmakers Stefán Ãrni and Siggi Kjartansson, the group was step by step expanded to include musicians such as DJ Herb Legowitz and programmer Biggi Thórarinsson as well as singer/songwriters DanÃel Ãgúst, HafdÃs Huld, and Magnús Jónsson (former actors all), a cameraman (Steph), and a producer (Baldur Stefánsson). The band's emphatically indie sensibilities light-emitting diode to their signing by 4AD after a four-part series of terpsichore integrate in EPs during 1996. Among a handful of groups in the late '90s with access to both closely knit dance circles as well as the notoriously highly strung indie community, the group gained support from LFO (with Mark Bell's remix of "Believe") and i of London's about celebrated DJ stores, Fat Cat Records, piece playacting their first day of the month in England. Given a combined U.S./U.K. loss due to 4AD's understanding with Warner Bros., their debut album, Polydistortion, strike the stores in April 1997. This Is Normal followed in 1999, and one year by and by the anthology outlet Gus Gus vs. T-World appeared. 2002 power saw the release of Care; Motley Live appeared a year later. The radical returned with new material in 2007 with Forever and a day.
