• "Examines the persistent narrative of Iceland as a "naturally" musical country through environmental studies and musicology and using examples from folk, pop, and experimental music, looking specifically at lyrics, composition, marketing, and reception"-- 
• "Listening to the dissonances of nature and nationhood in modern Iceland; during the past three decades, Iceland has attained a strong presence in the world through its musical culture, with images of the nation being packaged and shipped out in melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. What 'Iceland' means for people, both at home and abroad, is conditioned by music and its ability to animate notions of nature and nationality. In six chapters that range from discussions of indie rock ballads to 'Nordic noir' television music, Dissonant Landscapes describes the capacity of musical expression to transform ideas about nature and nationality on the northern edges of Europe"--
