If you’re at all doubtful about this – c’mon, trust us – do go have a look at any of the numerous videos out there in the Knuturverse: just don’t base your assumptions on what he looks like. Yes, yes, of course he is typical of the long dark nights and 24 hour suns of his Icelandic home; there is tragedy, misery, adversity: but also one huge sense of humour and a message of hope. Also some rather fetching tunes and English lyrics. Svavar is a unique personality, you won’t have met anyone quite like him before, and there really isn’t anything else as memorable to do on a dark November night.
