Hey Translator,
I just can't help it but I have to point out one common misconception in your post: Björk, as any other Icelander, is not Scandinavian.
If you would be interested in not only Scandinavian, but also other Nordic music, then there is a bunch of fantastic stuff to discover in the Icelandic music scene, a few electronica goodies:

And there’s a lot of brilliant stuff in the Rock, Indie and Pop scenes, to name a few of the very best: Kimono, Seabear, Sing Fang Bous, Dikta, Retro Stefson, Kira Kira, Mugison, Reykjavík!, Jan Mayen, Sudden Weather Change, Isidor, Lada Sport, Dr. Spock, HAM, Lay Low, Benny Crespo’s Gang, Emiliana Torrini, Jagúar, Megas, Retrön, Skátar (I might be a bit biased on that one) and many many more. Check it out and enjoy!
