New Japanese/Icelandic chamber-pop - Folklore

Folklore is a band that was formed last autumn in Reykjavik, Iceland, by Hilmar (the male vocalist and guitar player) and Mamiko, who sings and plays keyboards. They have been doing several gigs since last October, the last two have featured a five-piece chamber-band. Most of the songs they play in concert are by Hilmar but they also play a few covers ("Where The Wild Roses Grow", "Kiss from a Rose", "Roads"(by Portishead)) and Mamiko has one of her own songs in their setlist. Their latest concert was video-taped with their permission and I had the honour of uploading a few of the songs from the concert to YouTube.
Here are three songs with the expanded version of Folklore:

"Pleased To Leave You" (by Hilmar- Mamiko on vocals):


"Mister Codein" (by Hilmar):


"Itsumo" (Mamiko) - This song is in Japanese - Mamiko is actually half-Japanese , half-Icelandic:
