Kick The Ladder is the anticipated debut album from Icelandic composer and songwriter Kaktus Einarsson, frontman of post - punk outfit Fufanu, released by One Little Independent. It was produced by Kaktus, alongside Swiss electronic composer Kurt Uenala, and finished in New York City.
Einarsson (b. 1992) has led a remarkable musical life. Born and raised in Reykjavík, he was playing as part of experimental electronic act Ghostigital at the tender age of ten. In Fufanu , he opened hometown shows for Radiohead and Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The band also supported Blur in Hyde Park, and stormed the festival circuit, appearing at the likes of Primavera Sound, Rock Werchter , Musilac and Down The Rabbit Hole. Now aged 28, Kaktus is beginning a new chapter with Kick The Ladder. Having honed his understanding of songwriting , recording, and production, the LP is the culmination of his experience in contemporary classical and pop music, and bridges the two sides of his work.
