Bedroom Community is a fairly new label based in Iceland. They debuted with the releases of Nico Muhly, Ben Frost and Valgeir Sigurdsson. All three are beautiful records, Muhly displays magical arrangements reminiscent of Reich and Glass (with a cameo appearance by Antony without the Johnson). Valgeir's name might not ring a bell but he produced Björk's records from Vespertine on. He is also label-owner and studio-engineer, and his record is one of the finest released this year.
The record I want to highlight is Theory of Machines by Ben Frost
A very moving ambient/noise record with one loud track: 'We Love You Michael Gira'. Gira has recently visited the Netherlands with his insanely loud acoustic shows, but he is best known as the founder of the industrial noise band Swans. Ben Frost samples one of Gira's guitar parts in the aforementioned song creating a devastating track. If this scares you the other four tracks are less loud and equally beautiful.
Well, just check it out.

I haven't heard Ben Frost's record but I wil certainly check it out. I do know Valgeir Sigurðsson's record and it's quite lovely. You can hear what he contributed to Bjork's Vespertine. Very Icelandic.
