Hailing from Reykjavík, three-piece post-punk band Virgin Orchestra is shaking up the music scene. The experimental band is known for their eclectic sound, forged from the diverse backgrounds of its members. Their unique combination of live instruments—guitar, cello, bass, and vocals—melds seamlessly with innovative programming and avant-garde soundscapes. In May 2023, they released their debut album “fragments,” a body of work that is as dynamic and deft as they are. With their innovative sound and electrifying performances, Virgin Orchestra is carving out a distinct niche in the world of experimental music.

In anticipation of their set at Iceland Airwaves, the trio curates a playlist for Schön! and answers some rapid-fire questions.


Hey Virgin Orchestra! What are you up to right now?

Celebrating the release of our new single ‘banger’ and getting ready to play Iceland Airwaves!

If someone asked you what your origin story was, how would you describe it? 

Three weirdos from different backgrounds got together and made music.

Describe your style in 3 words.

Aggressive, graceful and moody.

What is the most precious thing in your wardrobe?

Stef has a photographic enlarger in her wardrobe that she never uses. We mostly thrift clothing and don’t really have anything expensive in there. Stef also has a vintage blood coral necklace from her great-great-something grandma that she also never uses.

What was the last book you read?

Rún reads “Viktoría” by Knut Hamsun a few times a year. Statistically, it is probably the most frequent “last read” book of the band.

What is your favourite thing to do in Iceland?

Go to the pool.

If you could play at any venue, which one would it be? 

Barrowlands in Glasgow.

Where are you happiest?

In the moor in the countryside. The smell of nature, the sun is out and everything is soft.

If you had an hour to spend with anyone from history, who would it be and why? 

Rún would like to meet her great-great-grandma, she was a mystic who threw “gatherings”. Stef would like to meet Jesus and see if they were an anarchist who would endorse rioting. Starri would also like to meet Rún’s grandma.

If someone had a free day in Iceland, what places do you recommend they visit?

Any pool and all of them.

Who would play you in the story of your life?

Stef: Chloë Sevigny.

Starri: Tilda Swinton.

Rún: Matt Lucas.

An underrated song/artist you love?

The track that describes your coming-of-age story?

Stef: “Hairspray Queen” by Nirvana.

Rún: “Don’t Think Twice It’s All Right” by Bob Dylan. 

Starri: “Sometimes” by My Bloody Valentine.

An album that you’d put in a time capsule?

Plantasia – Mort Garson.

A lyric that you love and the song it’s from?

“Mother is juicing watermelons on the breakfast island

And with frail hands she grips the NutriBullet

And the bite of its blades reminds me of a future

That I am in no way part of

And in a wall of photographs

In the downstairs second living room’s TV area

I become her father

And complain of mediocre theatre in the daytime

And ice in single malt whiskey at night

Of rising skirt hems, lowering IQs

And things just aren’t built like they used to be

The absolute pinnacle of British engineering.

I’m more than adequate

Leave Kanye out of this

Leave your Sertraline in the cabinet

And fuck me like you mean it this time, Isaac”

Black Country, New Road – “Sunglasses.” The single (2019) version. Fucking iconic.

A track that reminds you of a happy moment?

Starri: Slowdive – “Kisses.”

Rún: The Kinks – “All Day and All of the Night.”

We love Kælan Mikla.
