The Sugarcubes (Sykurmolarnir in Icelandic) were an Icelandic alternative rock band formed in 1986 and disbanded in 1992 and fronted by Bjork. They received critical and popular acclaim internationally.
Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week! is the second studio album by Icelandic alternative rock band The Sugarcubes, released in September 1989 through Elektra Records. A version of the album sung in Icelandic titled Illur Arfur! (English: Bad Legacy!) was released as well, with the same English track listing, under the name of Sykurmolarnir (The Sugarcubes in Icelandic). The album reached #70 on the Billboard 200, #15 on the UK Albums Chart and #1 on the UK Indie Albums chart. The album wasn’t as well received by critics as their critically acclaimed debut album, Life’s Too Good, and was criticized for Einar’s greater vocal contribution.
The album spanned three singles: “Regina” which reached #2 on the Alternative Songs chart, “Tidal Wave” and “Planet”. All three singles were also released a music video, as well as “Eat the Menu”.
The name of the album was inspired by Mr. Toad from the famous children’s book The Wind in the Willows.
