Baldur Bragason

His Sugarcubes bandmate Bjork may have gone on to international singing and swan dress-wearing fame, but singer and trumpet player Einar Orn Benediktsson has not been without his own exploits. As a member of Iceland's satirical and anarchistic Best Party, he became a member of Reykjavic's city council in 2010. He now divides his time between his political duties and his new musical outlet, electronica and hip-hop duo Ghostigital.
