Gisli

How About That? Gisli

Gisli has been compared Dinosaur Jr, the Beta Band and called 'the Icelandic Beck'. But with inspirations that include Eels, ‘60s guitar pop and contemporary hip hop as well as a line in neat one-liners, he’s so much more than that. It’s his lyrics that really mark him out, his music includes references to binge drinking, stockbrokers who used to be broke and of course a horrible day with Gareth Gates. Gisli, whose name means ‘hostage’, has already made his mark with this debut single, 'Passing Out' which Q called 'acute, witty, rock-hop.' EMI. 2004.
