| | One Little Indian • Daníel Ágúst |
 | | GusGus achieved no fewer than three domestic number one singles and a slew of awards, no meagre feat by any means, but for his debut solo album Agust has ditched the dance-friendly beats so easily crafted by his former outfit: Swallowed A Star is a grand work, symphonic pop in its finest, gently alluring pomposity. |
 | | Having toured Europe and the United States several times with GusGus, the group went on to release two critically acclaimed albums, "Polydistortion" (1997 4AD Records) and "This is Normal" (1999 4AD Records) plus a string of hit singles, three of which, written or co-written by Daníel, went to number one in his native Iceland. |
 | | Leaving GusGus in order to pursue his own musical path, Daníel has reached a pinnacle of creativity and quality with his own solo album ‘Swallowed a Star’, to be released in Iceland on One Little Indian via Smekkleysa in October 2005 to coincide with Daníel's performance at Iceland Airwaves, release date TBC. |
