 http://www.myspace.com/brutaljuiceband   KUKL was an Icelandic anarcho-punk group in the 1980s, most notable for being one of Björk's first bands. The name translates to "witchcraft " in Medieval Icelandic. The band was formed in August 1983 when Ásmundur Jónsson from Gramm Records wanted to create an avant-gard supergroup to perform on the final episode of a radio show called Áfangar. KUKL's first live show was on Reykjavík on the September 20, 1983 opening for Crass. Holidays in Europe (The Naughty Nought), was the third and last album they released in January 24, 1986. This album was more complex in comparison to the The Eye, with the folksy and pseudo-oriental flutes, bells and pipes of that previous album abandoned on favour of keyboards and samples. The music on this record contains scrawny guitars, electronic noise, and distorted samples and keyboards. Holidays in Europe (The Naughty boy) opens with “Outward Flight” (”Psalm 323)” a track which begins with a sample of a flight attendant welcoming to flight on board Icelandair. The drums accompanied by synthesizers and keyboard parts help sound like tuned percussion. “A Mutual Thrill” commences with heavily-echoed sounds, and digitally altered chamber music until there is room for scratchy guitars and distorted keyboards that contrive to create a chaotic rhythm. Einar Örn screams “Through the window!!!” along the track while Björk sings in Icelandic. "Just by the Book " is widely thought of by fans as one of the best songs on this album. The guitars played by Guðlaugur Kristinn Óttarsson (also known as Godkrist) are thinner and more granting than other works, while a clear contrast is shown between the two vocalists: Einar Örn sings that "The man on the cross, he keeps staring at me, " while Björk features herself as a pious follower happy because she sings “I believe” and as this track evolves she claims that she is "Willing to convince everyone… You don't have to think, he think for you! ". Thus, Holidays in Europe (The Naughty Nought) is a concept album about abusive relationships. This song in particular and most of the track names contain obvious puns on or references to Christianity and the Bible. The topic of the art cover is the “naughty nought”, that is, zero in power of itself equals unity (00=1). So, the meaning of this is that nothing in its own power can create something.
