John Grant's Songs from a Dark Place

American singer-songwriter John Grant presents a documentary exploring how Iceland, a land deprived of sunlight, has become a melting pot for creativity and music.

Another chance to hear this award-winning programme when 6 Music celebrated the Winter Solstice with a day of special programming around the shortest day/longest night of the year. American singer-songwriter John Grant who recently relocated to Reykavik and who appears at Glastonbury next weekend presents Songs from a Dark Place, a documentary exploring the music, magic and rise of Icelandic music and Nordic Noir and how a land deprived of sunlight has become a melting pot for creativity and music featuring Bjork, The Sugarcubes, Sigur Ros, Damon Albarn, Ben Frost and contributions from newer emerging Icelandic talent like Olof Arnalds, Asegir and Mammut and Fufanu.
