Interviews
Kælan Mikla don’t see themselves as a band that created a world. They see themselves as people who were invited into one. At Ankea Festival 2026, we sat down with the Icelandic trio to talk about the long-awaited new album, stepping away from constant touring, their shared creative “hive mind”, and why Kælan Mikla has always felt like an ever-expanding universe rather than simply a band.

Last month, we caught up with Suzi Sabotage in Helsinki before her show supporting Sierra Veins to talk transformation, confrontation, folklore, and why some songs are meant to disturb rather than comfort.
