Send us a textAs we sprint through the end of our transition to biweekly summer issues, we kick off another weekly rotation of 66DoS. This week's artist spotlight is on the genre-bending and self-described “boy band” Xiupill! With members hailing from Iceland, Spain and the US, the three-piece create a blend of production, performance and artistry that looks firmly to the future of music production while embracing diverse elements of the past. We've had our eyes and ears on them for a while, including having them on our Off-Waves showcase last November during Iceland Airwaves 2023, and we're super stoked to finally have them on the show.Two thirds of the band — Juan M. Melero and Jón Múli, missing Oliver Devaney — joined us in our studio at GV HQ to talk about their sophomore album MYTHOLOGY  (released on March 28), as well as touring, pop essentialism, and the importance of caffeine in production.Listen to MYTHOLOGY on SpotifyBuy the album on BandcampXiupill on Instagram: @xiu_pill 66 Degrees of Sound is a podcast production by The Reykjavík Grapevine, hosted by music editor Jóhannes Bjarkason and listings editor Rex Beckett.Editing and intro music by Rex Beckett.All tracks played on the show are in accordance with STEF, the Composers’ Rights Society of Iceland.Check out grapevine.is for the full magazine coverage and events.grapevine.is for more upcoming events.
