by Ian Parker • 21 October 2022 • Comments Off on Album | Arny Margret – They Only Talk About The Weather Ísafjörður must be a strange place to grow up.

There was the thunderstorm in Mexico, which knocked out the power as Diane wrote the opening track ‘Paloma’. “In the black of night/I wouldn’t be taken aback/If the sun gave up and never brought the day,” she wrote as the bolts...
