Listen to what the wise have to say about Skatar:
"Wait till you hear Skátar from Iceland. I don't know how to describe them even. Mogwai meets Black Sabbath that you can dance to. A heavy metal DFA?" - Moshi Moshi Music

"They're also f**king mad, and were by far our favourite band of the night. Comparisons to Super Furry Animals are inevitably, especially when the frontman bears a passing resemblance to Gruff Rhys, but we'd like to call it Devo vs Agent Blue. And it was ruddy great." - Drowned In Sound

"Shiny guitars, neat outfits, and a mix of ramshackle, tuneful Pavement-isms with Make-Up styled declamatory shouting? Fabulous." - Noise Annoys

"The singer/keyboardist's energy is boundless, jumping and running in place, kicking over mic stands, the band unfazed and continuously firing out their songs. There's actually very little here that falls in frame with the outsider's view of Iceland's music and this eccentric quintet most certainly does not look anything like elves (no disrespect to the elfin branch of Iceland's music industry)." - The Reykjavik Grapevine

"...as if Devo had made it halfway to turning into the Pixies, only to take a hard left turn into early-Eighties King Crimson." - Someone somewhere
