Biography

Being a quirky co-ed nine-piece from Reykjavik, Iceland, Gus Gus was almost bound to elicit comparisons to the Sugarcubes, though the passage of ten years caused the group to inherit the influences of electronic fuzz and trip-hop rhythms rather than the bout of post-punk lunacy that inspired the Sugarcubes during the late '80s. The band's decidedly indie sensibilities led to their signing by 4AD after a four-part series of dance mix EPs during 1996. The band was among a handful of groups in the late '90s with access to both close-knit dance circles as well as the notoriously uptight indie community. ~ John Bush
