Wondrous Intermission
The problem with artists like Icelandic Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson is that you don't know what's the best point from which to start the narration. If you start chronologically it's going to look like a Wikipedia entry. If you focus only on the latest release it would look like a review.
