The band enjoys popularity in Iceland and internationally. Mammút's eponymous debut album was released in Iceland in 2006 on the Smekkleysa label founded by The Sugarcubes.\n\nfollow-up album, Karkari, was released in 2008 and included \"Svefnsýkt\" which became the band's first major hit with immense radio play and charting in Iceland.

It's inspired by our own love story. Bryce and I first met in high school, we dated for ten years before getting married in 2018. We've now officially been together for over half of our lives. The style of the song is an ode to my lifelong obsession with pop music. I kept asking Bryce to write a song that's more directly pop, and he finally did! It was really fun to work on, and a challenge for him to produce/mix something in this vein.\n\n\"One of the many aspects that I love about this song is its structure. Instead of the standard verse/chorus/verse/chorus, this song introduces a second main melody in the latter half of the song. I love the epic nature of that melody and think it's both beautiful and nostalgic at the same time.\" https://tinyurl.com/ya2m5hxp\n\nHere’s the duo’s full performance live in the KEXP studio last year: https://tinyurl.com/rpr8sv8w", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3576071, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3576071/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-11-09T15:55:04-08:00", "show": 65066, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65066/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn721802.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-fd0a75c2-e546-412c-af9e-c3f564c00776/mbid-fd0a75c2-e546-412c-af9e-c3f564c00776-34204943845_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://dn721802.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-fd0a75c2-e546-412c-af9e-c3f564c00776/mbid-fd0a75c2-e546-412c-af9e-c3f564c00776-34204943845_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Keep Up The Good Work", "track_id": "97be8550-5b89-4584-954b-24184bd0ecc7", "recording_id": "9ecb9453-9bad-4572-99a3-0301b4c67a96", "artist": "Lowly", "artist_ids": [ "c202145f-2740-47f0-a463-045c68201df6" ], "album": "Keep Up the Good Work", "release_id": "fd0a75c2-e546-412c-af9e-c3f564c00776", "release_group_id": "6c27fb7a-8e21-4420-ac1d-dc1198b7bece", "labels": [ "Bella Union" ], "label_ids": [ "2e72153d-8eb0-49a3-8b18-3a054d2c7f33" ], "release_date": "2023-02-17", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "The title of the album reflects how the Danish band's fans became a part of the album.\n\n\"We asked people to send us recordings of what they would say to the people they cared for to give encouragement or support,\" says singer Soffie Viemose.\n\n\"Our DMs were flooded with positive affirmations and personal stories about what people tell their kids, friends and loved ones.
