Kælan Mikla (“Lady of the Cold,” named for a character in the beloved Finnish comic strip Moomins) is an Icelandic post-punk all-female trio formed in 2013 as an entry for a local poetry contest hosted by the Reykjavík City Library. “Næturblóm” is the second single from the band’s third album Nótt eftir nótt (“Night after night”), which contains “songs of regrets, shadows, witches and all the things that lure in the darkest hour of night, mixed with Icelandic folklore and reminiscence of the winter darkness that simultaneously frightens us and makes us feel at home.” This piece utilizes details from photographs I took during my first trip to Iceland in October of 2022.
