Swiss-based Icelander Sunna Margrét is a rising force in experimental pop. Having begun her career as a teenager touring with electro-pop ensemble Bloodgroup, she is about to release her debut full-length solo LP, Finger on Tongue.

The Collector

Influenced by krautrock legends CAN and Neu!, alongside outsider synth-pop artist The Space Lady and electronic music pioneers Suzanne Ciani and Eliane Radigue, her work touches on crosscutting synth-pop, reinvented trip-hop, krautrock, and experimental inspirations. She is also an accomplished visual artist, co-founding No Salad Records as a platform for avant-garde, electronic, and post-punk expression worldwide.

What do you collect, and why?

I collect what I know I will actually listen to, what sparks my interest, records that inspire me to make music. I often buy records when I go to concerts – it’s nice to support the artists directly. I enjoy a whole range of styles: experimental, psychedelic rock, punk rock, post-punk, ambient, world music, electronic, krautrock, pop, sometimes jazz, blues, folk… all sorts of directions. But preferably something I don’t already know. Yesterday I bought a new release: Vanishing Twin – Afternoon X. It had a quote from [leftfield music mag] The Wire so I gave it a listen. Now, since I began running a record label, when I’ve been personally distributing records to local stores, it’s hard to resist grabbing a record or two on the way out.

How big is your collection?

It’s tiny! Well, it depends who you ask, but for collectors, it’s tiny. Maybe 700 records ranging from 6” to 12”.

What do you think it is worth?

Probably not much… I’ve never really thought about it. I’m constantly listening to my records, day in, day out, and I know I’m probably going to listen to them until they are ruined. Some of those records are already in bad shape, a lot of them I bought for just two euros. But then, streaming music just isn’t my thing.

THE SUPERBAD SUPERNOVA OF SLY STONE

Fronting his livewire mixed-race, multi-gendered Family Stone, Sly Stone looked like he could have stepped out of a blaxploitation film, except that era was still to come in 1968 when he ignited his psychedelic soul inferno with Dance To The Music and changed black music overnight.

20/20 VISIONARIES

In the space of two days in June, we lost two giants of popular music, aged 82: Brian Wilson and Sly Stone.

Here, Bob Stanley pays tribute to the adored Beach Boy while on page 84, Kris Needs salutes the genius formally known as Sylvester Stewart.

"STOP TRYING TO BE CLEVER, AND JUST GO WITH THE FLOW"

A leading figure in the 60s UK folk revival, Martin Carthy always relied on a simple songwriting philosophy, through his friendship with Bob Dylan and Paul Simon to his role in moulding the folk-rock movement with Steeleye Span. Since then, his creative and romantic partnership with late partner Norma Waterson helped create the “first family” of British folk. “There have been several ‘me's’ through the years, and some of them are very interesting,” he tells Rob Hughes.

CHILD'S PLAY

Before he became a world-conquering songwriter/ producer, Desmond Child tore up New York for one glorious year at the end of the 70s with his rock-R&B-disco fusion group, Desmond Child & Rouge. Now, the Laura Nyro-adoring 70s Scissor Sisters™ tell Charles Donovan they're coming back to finish what they started.

AI Quality

Back in the mid-70s, when all sorts of imaginative music could be heard emanating from the city of Canterbury, Hatfield And The North ranked as one of the most interesting groups on the scene. Little wonder, when you consider they featured ex-members of Caravan, Gong, Matching Mole and Egg. It was a short, fascinating trip, with a lengthy genesis, as Hatfield's bassist and singer Richard Sinclair and keyboardist Dave Stewart tell Chris Wheatley

33½ minutes with...Skin

Skunk Anansie singer Deborah 'Skin' Dyer OBE, born in Brixton, London in 1967, was the first black British artist to headline Glastonbury in 1999. Skin once described her band's dynamic music as 'clit-rock', but she can't be confined to a single sound, as her two solo albums demonstrated in 2003 and again in 2006.
