Concrete Igloo is the first full-length album by Canadian post-industrial band Dandi Wind. [1] All songs were written and produced by Szam Findlay, with Dandilion Wind Opaine providing vocals.
Dandi Wind was a post-industrial band created in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 2003. The band consisted of duo Dandilion Wind Opaine and Szam Findlay. Opaine went on to form the disco band Fan Death. "Dandi Wind" released two albums, 2006's Concrete Igloo and 2008's Yolk of the Golden Egg in addition to several EPs and singles, and featured in a variety of magazines and media outlets, including Supersweet Magazine, NME, Dazed & Confused, Exclaim!, Nightlife Magazine, The Nerve, Discorder Magazine, The Georgia Straight, and Trash Menagerie.
Drowned in Sound wrote that the album is "energetic, confrontational and bizarre electronic noise with a strong vein of inventive humour and a breathless speediness to its rhythms" and has a "varied and somewhat deranged set of subject matter...one which surely requires a varied and somewhat deranged melodic setting". [2]
Drowned in Sound, sometimes abbreviated to DiS, was a UK-based music webzine financed by artist management company Silentway. Founded by editor Sean Adams, the site featured reviews, news, interviews, and discussion forums.
