Paddan: ‘Bug’

In honor of leap year today, let’s turn to a new project from old friends who believe that the best collaborations take time. The Icelandic duo Paddan are lifelong friends since childhood and survivors of the post-punk scene in Reykjavik in the early ‘80s. Paddan’s debut EP, Fluid Time, is inspired by the perception of time and space, with compositions that fill the ether with inspiration from free-form jazz and the punk aesthetics of their youth. Let’s check out the percussive krautrock piece “Bug,” which happens to be English for what Paddan is named after.
