The show will be “a kind of imaginary soundtrack to a beautiful horror film, quite noisy and gently gut-wrenching,” as Kira Kira told icelandicmusic.is.
Kira Kira, which is the stage name of Kristín Björk Kristjánsdóttir, is planning to stay in Finland after the festival to start recording her new album in Kosminen’s studio.
Meanwhile her debut Skotta has just been released in Japan with two bonus tracks, including a new song called “Floorkiller”.
The Helsinki Festival, which takes place from August 20 to September 9, includes music, theater, dance, circus, visual art, poetry, a children’s program and more. For further information, visit the festival’s website.
