The story

What Is Mercy About?

The premise of Mercy without spoilers.

Mercy (2005) shows Kjartansson alone with a guitar, looping “Oh why do I keep on hurting you”. His delivery shifts from plaintive to crass, searching to pleading, giving the line a haunting, tongue‑in‑cheek twang. The video introduces his slick‑haired persona, also frontman of Reykjavík synth‑rock band Trabant. Mercy ties this swagger to his exploration of Icelandic identity.
