About the event

Spouses
Spouses is a project by Canadian musician Joel Durksen. A graduate of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, it was there he met KRISTRÚN, who in 2023 moved together to Iceland to live on a horse-breeding farm, where he is building a recording studio in a stable. The debut album I Could Be Your Dog, is released May 22 via Kálfholt Records.

While in Liverpool he was a live member of Brad Stank. Despite a performance at SXSW 2023, he decided to walk away.

“I called myself a songwriter but I wasn’t writing many songs. I just needed to be alone for a while.”

In Iceland he went straight to the source producing and performing the first ever studio version of Vorið kemur (Vikivaki) sung by Valgeir Guðjónsson in 2024.

The first single Splinter from I Could Be Your Dog was released 27. November and received early support from The Line of Best Fit and The Yellow Button abroad and Undiraldan - RÁS2 as well as RÚV English. The second single Choke releases February 19, followed by a UK showcase in Liverpool on 20. Feb

With Reynir Snær on guitar/lapsteel + KRISTRÚN on backing vocals + more guests TBA

Spouses er verkefni Kanadíska tónlistarmannsins Joel Durksen. Hann útskrifaðist frá Liverpool
Institute for Performing Arts árið 2018 en þar kynntist hann Kristrúnu, sem hann flutti með til Íslands árið 2023. Þau búa nú á hrossaræktarbýli þar sem hann er að byggja upptökustúdíó í hesthúsi.
Fyrsta platan hans, I Could Be Your Dog, kemur út 22. maí í gegnum Kálfholt Records.
Á meðan hann bjó í Liverpool var hann meðlimur í hljómsveit Brad Stank. Þrátt fyrir að hafa komið fram á SXSW 2023, ákvað hann að stíga til hliðar.
„Ég kallaði mig lagahöfund en var ekki að semja mörg lög. Ég þurfti einfaldlega að vera einn um stund.“
Á Íslandi kynntist hann kjarna íslenskrar dægurlagatónlistar í gegnum Valgeir Guðjónsson, en Joel pródúseraði og spilaði inn á fyrstu upptöku lagsins Vorið kemur (Vikivaki) sem sungið af Valgeiri sjálfum.
Fyrsta smáskífa plötunnar I Could Be Your Dog ber nafnið Splinter og kom út 27.nóvember 2025. Splinter hlaut stuðning frá The Line of Best Fit og The Yellow Button ásamt umfjöllunum í Undiröldunni á RÁS 2 og á RÚV English. Önnur smáskífa plötunnar, Choke, kemur út 19. febrúar nk., og í kjölfarið tónleikar í Liverpool þann 20. Febrúar.
Með Reyni Snæ á gítar/lap steel og KRISTRÚN í bakröddum, ásamt fleiri gestum sem verða tilkynntir síðar.
