KUKL (a.k.a. K.U.K.L.) was an icelandic gothic rock, post-punk group active in the 1980s, most notable for being one of Björk’s first bands. The name means “witch” in Medieval Icelandic.
The band was formed in August 1983 when Ásmundur Jónsson from Gramm Records wanted to create an avant-garde supergroup to perform on the final episode of a radio show called Áfangar. He assembled Björk Guðmundsdóttir, vocalist of Tappi Tíkarrass; Einar Örn Benediktsson, a trumpeter and vocalist in Purrkur Pillnikk; keyboardist Einar Arnaldur Melax, from the surrealistic group Medúsa; Birgir Mogensen, the bassist from Spilafífl; and finally drummer Siggtryggur Baldursson and guitar player Guðlaugur Kristinn Óttarsson (a.k.a. Godkrist), both from the band Þeyr.

It is amazing but not easy music - a mesmerizing and disturbing. This music reminds me of the exorcisms and tribal dances...

"Funny how anarcho-punk is partly responsible for Björk's success" But anything-punk is responsible for a lot of the cooler "mainstream" musicians' success :)
