I hate to harp on this point, but there is no better way to take the pulse of a city than to inspect its independent music scene; most aspects of a city's culture converge therein. Fashion, art, and even literature are reflected in the crowds at shows. Luckily, while in Reykjavik, the path to indie enlightenment is short: head to 12 Tónar.
For a decade now the music shop and its attendant record label have represented and supported the sublime yet idiosyncratic local music scene. Here you will find undiscovered delights from the 101 and slightly beyond. Naturally, the staff is well-versed in music speak, so you have access to a comprehensive understanding of the surroundings.
12 Tónar also offers international acts of genre-spanning renown. In-store performances further enhance the experience. While the shop has spawned a shop in Denmark, this is the original location. -ST
