The Curse of Singapore Sling


The Curse of Singapore Sling is the first studio album by the Icelandic neo-psychedelia band Singapore Sling. It was released in August 2002 by the record label Hitt.

Background

An 8-track demo version of the opening track, "Overdriver", was made available online on the Iceland Airwaves music festival website in 2001, titled "Overdrive".
The closing track, "Dirty Water", was a cover version of the 1966 hit single by the garage rock band the Standells.
Edda, the now-defunct Icelandic label, produced a music video for "Listen". No single was actually released. The black-and-white clip was directed by Arni Thor Jonsson from the Reykjavík studio Sagofilm and was released in Iceland on 22 October 2002. It shows girls from a volleyball league wearing bikinis and dancing.

Release

The album was released in August 2002 on CD by Hitt Records, and was licensed and released in the United States a year later by the independent label Stinky Records.
