AU Magazine Meet Reykjavik pop-rock duo Feldberg, the newest addition to Iceland s enviable canon of internationally acclaimed acts and the latest additions to the Smalltown America family. Consisting of singer Rosa Birgitta Isfeld and multi-instrumentalist Einar Tonsberg, Feldberg first came together in 2008. Einar had recently returned to Iceland from London and was looking for a vocalist to record Running Around , a song he had written for an advert for an Icelandic shopping mall. “It was a lovely accident”, explains Einar. “I needed a vocal, somebody to do a female vocal. I called up my friends and they all said You have to call Rosa. She was at my studio ten minutes later and she hasn t left.” Rosa adds: “It was really comfortable from the very beginning, like it was destiny. I felt like I should stay once I was there. It s kind of like a relationship without the romance.” After a succesful 2011 touring the album and flying from Iceland to Dublin to London to Tokyo, the band are currently writing and recording their 2nd album due in 2012.
