"Right now, in writing, Matt and I (Carrie Fussell) are pulling a lot of inspiration from older music; think Bob Wills, Rolling Stones, The Mamas and the Papas, and various Motown bands. One of my friends recently introduced me to Little Feat, and that is currently blowing my mind. Matt has recently been listening to David Gray and Ani DiFranco. My go-to sources of inspiration (that are responsible for my wanting to be a musician) are Poe, Jewel and Alanis Morrisette's first albums. My sisters (10 and 12 years older than me) used to play these CDs when they took me to school as a kid, and I would always sing along with them." -Bitch Media.

Can you explain the meaning of your lyrics to me as a non-Icelandic speaker? "Some of them use the lyrics of old Icelandic songs and poems. The poems are so well put together, they are so beautiful and go together so well, they just fit the music." Are all the songs are based on these poems? "Yes all of them, well the concepts are. We have all these great lyrics and poems in our culture so why not use them because they are forgotten so why not try to use them rather than write our own lyrics which will not be so perfect." -Musika.

We love your new single "Sadie", but can you explain the concept behind the song? "Its actually about a friend of mine, of course her name is not Sadie, but her persona is totally based on her. She was going on every night trying to get with the right guy, but was totally desperate and not being her lovely self. I was trying to tell her that she deserves more but on the other hand that she cannot force love. Love finds you." -Pop Shade.

Fiona Apple was really my first inspiration to start writing songs, I relate a lot to her words and her rhythms. She is a pianist as well and I was always intrigued by how she could make the instrument almost sound like a percussive instrument. Roy Orbison was often playing growing up, he just had great style, great voice and his songs are timeless." -Adam Not Eve.
