Bedroom Community Gets Presidential Visit
A buzz of anticipation surrounded the studio as press, police and musicians waited for the arrival of a head of state. Greenhouse studio, which is the home of Bedroom Community record label, had a visit last week from Estonia's President Toomas Hendrik Ilves. The President, a fan of Bedroom Community, was on a state visit to Iceland and wanted to experience some of the vibrant music scene for himself. A concert for the President and 25 of his delegates was put on by Ben Frost and Daníel Bjarnason, accompanied by Borgar Þór Magnason (Contrabass) and Bryndís Halla Gylfadóttir (Cello) playing tracks from Ben's album By The Throat and Daniel's album Processions.
What the press says
Processions deserves to be [Bjarnason's] global breakthrough. It’s the sound of fire and instinct, the musical equivalent of a controlled burn. Perhaps all sounds to silence come, but thanks to Bjarnason, that sonic Armageddon seems a long distance away.

“Surely one of the most bombastic modern classical albums you’re likely to hear all year”.
