Borko

Borko is the melodic electronic project of Icelandic multi-instrumentalist Björn Kristiansson, who also composes music for film and theater and works as a music teacher in a Reykjavik school. Kristiansson's mix of acoustic and electronic textures -- which is reminiscent of his fellow countrymen Múm -- debuted in 2001 with the Trees & Limbo EP on the Resonant imprint. He spent six years working on his first full-length album, Celebrating Life, which was released by Morr in early 2008. ~ Heather Phares
