Jónsi

Ambient
AmbientPost-rockRap

Jónsi is a Ambient and Post-rock act. Their catalogue also touches Rap. Their sound grew out of Iron Maiden, The Real Tuesday Weld, A. G. Cook, The Smashing Pumpkins and Fuck Buttons. Those roots explain a lot about how Jónsi arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Sigur Rós, Ólafur Arnalds, Eluvium, Kiasmos and Frakkur, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Mountain Man, Tiësto, The Album Leaf, Troye Sivan and Hammock, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 23 connections around Jónsi, reaching back through Iron Maiden and forward to Mountain Man.
