Two of Iceland's accomplished musicians have joined forces for a brand-new collaborative project, introducing themselves with the release of their debut single ‘Staring at Nothing’. The track pairs Bardi Johannsson, best known for his work with Bang Gang, alongside David Antonsson (d'Ant), a multi-instrumentalist recognised for his contributions to Kaleo.
Combining cinematic electronics with alternative influences, ‘Staring at Nothing’ delivers a rich, atmospheric sound built around immersive melodies and thoughtful production. The single highlights the contrasting strengths of both artists, resulting in a release that feels both intimate and expansive while establishing a distinctive musical identity for the new partnership.
The collaboration represents the beginning of a longer creative journey, bringing together years of songwriting, production and performance experience into a fresh artistic venture. Drawing on their shared Icelandic roots while embracing contemporary electronic and alternative music, Johannsson and d'Ant have created an intriguing first chapter that hints at plenty more to come.
