Kukl

Kukl has been played on NTS in shows including Bokeh Versions, featured first on 12 June 2018. Songs played include Söngull, Gibraltar (Copy Thy Neighbour) and Moonbath.

There are two different bands that will appear here: 1) KUKL (a.k.a. K.U.K.L.) was an Icelandic gothic rock, post-punk group active in the 1980s, most notable for being one of Björk's first bands; 2) The British metal duo Kulk, scrobbles for whom are inexplicably redirected here by Last.FM.

KUKL (a.k.a. K.U.K.L.) was an Icelandic gothic rock, post-punk group active in the 1980s, most notable for being one of Björk's first bands. The name means "witch" in Medieval Icelandic.

The band was formed in August 1983 when Ásmundur Jónsson from Gramm Records wanted to create an avant-garde supergroup to perform on the final episode of a radio show called Áfangar. He assembled Björk Guðmundsdóttir, vocalist of Tappi Tíkarrass; Einar Örn Benediktsson, a trumpeter and vocalist in Purrkur Pillnikk; keyboardist Einar Arnaldur Melax, from the surrealistic group Medúsa; Birgir Mogensen, the bassist from Spilafífl; and finally drummer Siggtryggur Baldursson and guitar player Guðlaugur Kristinn Óttarsson (a.k.a. Godkrist), both from the band Þeyr.
