A Reykjavík band whose layered harmonies and expansive sound found a global audience with 'Little Talks.'
For a quick sense of their range, start with the driving folk-rock of 'Six Weeks' and the quieter, moodier 'Silhouettes.'
They carved out a distinct space where indie folk meets rock pulse, anchored by the shared vocals of Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar Þórhallsson. Songs like 'Yellow Light' and 'Six Weeks' from their 2012 debut 'My Head Is an Animal' show how they build arrangements that feel both expansive and grounded. Their later work, like 'Silhouettes' and 'Human,' kept that atmospheric feel while weaving in more electronic textures.
Formed in Reykjavík in 2010, they broke internationally with the 2011 single 'Little Talks' and the 2012 album 'My Head Is an Animal.' They followed with 'Beneath the Skin' in 2015 and 'Fever Dream' in 2019, albums that maintained their introspective mood through shifts in lineup and sound.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
