Sunna Margrét | @sunnamargret

Of Sunna Margrét’s debut album Finger on Tongue, The Quietus wrote: “Oddball Icelandic pop packs a dense punch, heavy with ideas.” Her music fuses hypnotic rhythms, jagged synth lines and raw, magnetic vocals, creating songs that are playful and unsettling. Electronic Sound called it “weaving reinvented trip-hop,” while Sunna cites CAN’s experimental drive, Suzanne Ciani’s synth futurism and PJ Harvey’s intensity as influences. The album won international acclaim, with Paste naming it one of the “40 Best Debut Albums of 2024” and featured her Iceland Airwaves 2024 set among the festival’s ten best performances. The Line of Best Fit praised Sunna’s performance as “spacey, dramatic, rhythmically hypnotising,” while KEXP’s Kevin Cole also singled her out as a highlight, having already interviewed her for an in-studio session during Taste of Iceland Seattle 2024. Sunna has also appeared at The Great Escape (UK), ESNS (NL), SXSW (US) and most recently performed at Iceland Airwaves 2025.

Silver Ley | @bethanyley_

Bethany Ley will be appearing under the new guise of Silver Ley for this show marking it a special moment for their music, leaning into the ephemerality of identity and time, and allowing live shows to enter the creative process itself. It may be the first gig of many, or the first and last, under this name. Watch this space...

Ley is a Bristol-based producer, composer, and vocalist known for crafting intricate arrangements that blend their classical background with electronic music. Originally trained in piano, viola, and voice, Ley’s influences span Classical, Folk, and contemporary electronic music.

They have performed with Ishmael Ensemble (BBC6 Album of the Year) and collaborated with artists such as Waldo’s Gift, Batu and Alabaster DePlume. Notable live appearances include Southbank Centre (supporting Kae Tempest), Glastonbury Festival’s West Holts, and The Jazz Café.

Their long-awaited Debut EP ‘Sundial’ was released with Lo Recordings in May 2024, showcasing their fusion of electronica, field recordings, and Gamelan, earning support from BBC Radio 6. Ley creates "digital gardens" and “immersive soundworlds” (The Tonearm) offering a fresh hypnotic entanglement of modernity and tradition.

Lily Montague | @lily__montague

Laying the ambient alongside the alarming, this set will hold you in the space between minimal synth, IDM and dub. Lily is a producer and singer, who recently found a home in Bristol.
Their debut EP heaven-sent contrasts the euphoric freedom of grief with the darker tones of its voices. This juxtaposition is expanded within the sound by the use of bedroom recording techniques and production on vast samples of grandeur from churches and field recordings in Cornwall.

“There’s a holiness to their sound, a control of the rise and fall, the way the beats seem to almost flow through their body as if it’s entirely stored within them. Montague is as much an instrument as the rest of the equipment onstage, carefully layering noise and harmony to create something truly spectacular.” 5.18 Magazine

This night is a part of Montague's long-standing relationship with the DIY music scene in Iceland. Traces of this can be found in their collaborative releases and performances with Icelandic producer Oliver Devaney (LUCA, Xuipill, charliedwarf) and artist Finnur Kaldi (charliedwarf).
