This time we bring you a re-listen of our artist spotlight with genre-bending and self-described “boy band” Xiupill.<br/><br/>With members hailing from Iceland, Spain and the US, the three-piece create a blend of production, performance and artistry that looks firmly to the future of music production while embracing diverse elements of the past. Two thirds of the band — Juan M. Melero and Jón Múli, missing Oliver Devaney — joined us in our studio at GV HQ to talk about their sophomore album <em>MYTHOLOGY</em> (released on March 28), as well as touring, pop essentialism, and the importance of caffeine in production.<br/><br/>Listen to <a href='https://open.spotify.com/album/0FQEu6HNhNvZlEYneagZ0C'><em>MYTHOLOGY </em>on Spotify</a><br/><a href='https://xiupill.bandcamp.com/album/mythology'>Buy the album on Bandcamp</a><br/>Xiupill on Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/xiu_pill/?hl=en'>@xiu_pill</a><br/><br/>66 Degrees of Sound is a podcast production by The Reykjavík Grapevine, hosted by music editor Jóhannes Bjarkason and listings editor Rex Beckett.<br/><br/>Editing and intro music by Rex Beckett.<br/><br/>All tracks played on the show are in accordance with <a href='https://stef.is/'>STEF, the Composers’ Rights Society of Iceland</a>.</p><p>Check out <a href='https://grapevine.is/'>grapevine.is </a>for the full magazine coverage and <a href='https://events.grapevine.is/'>events.grapevine.is</a> for more upcoming events.</p> <ul> <li>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/rvkgrapevine/?hl=en'>@rvkgrapevine</a> </li> <li>Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/ReykjavikGrapevine/'>The Reykjavík Grapevine</a> </li> <li>Youtube: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXDn1ItTmeGarenRLOZus9Q'>The Reykjavík Grapevine</a> </li> </ul>

Jói and Rex handpicked a selection of top notch guests we've had in this year, which you may have missed if you're a new listener.<br/><br/>For our first replay episode, we go back to April when we were joined by lo-fi indie-punk darlings BSÍ in the hotseat, or rather one half of them, drummer and singer Sigurlaug (Silla) Thorarensen. Silla joined us in Grapevine HQ’s brand new podcasting studio for a riveting and lively chat about the song, the video, the band’s plans, and general silliness.<br/><br/>Fear not for fresh content, however, as we will have bi-weekly hot happenings episodes and our Saturday morning mixes as usual with guest hosts joining us for those.<br/><br/>Links to BSÍ:<br/>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/bsi.band/'>@bsi.band</a><br/>Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/brusselssproutsintl'>BSÍ</a><br/>YouTube: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@brusselssproutsintl'>@brusselssproutsintl</a><br/><br/>Opening track: <a href='https://brusselssproutsintl.bandcamp.com/track/lily-hot-dog'>BSÍ — Lily (hot dog)</a> (r.
