Synchronised Swimmers

|---|---|
Synchronised Swimmers is the second album by Icelandic artist Hafdís Huld. The album was released in 2009, roughly coinciding with Hafdís performing at the Iceland Airwaves music festival in Reykjavík.[1] Kónguló was the first single from the album and was released during the summer the same year.[2] So far the album is only available in Iceland, but it will be available in Europe and the rest of the world in early 2010.[3]
Critical reception
Synchronised Swimmers has received mixed reviews from music critics. Samantha Hatfield of BuzzleGoose wrote that "Hafdis Huld has produced a really strong album that is upbeat and will appeal to fans of 90s era chick rock music. Her folksy and eccentric way of constructing Synchronised Swimmers has certainly paid off."[4] Michael Cragg of The Guardian meanwhile gave the album a rating of 2/5, nothing that "as the album progresses, however, Huld's need to appear kooky becomes cloying."[5]
