<p>Writing and producing this song for BÍA for the Icelandic Eurovision National Selection was a great challenge.

One note from the director of the series was that the intro theme should feel like a punchline to a joke. So I started the intro with a reference to the classic ba-dum-tss drum fill.   Watch the intro with the series theme below:   Your browser does not support the video tag.

A fun collaboration with Icelandic pop artists Valdís and JóiPé. A nostalgic summer track. For the gear-heads, the Mood Mk2 pedal by Chase Bliss can be heard in the first seconds of the song.
