Our new album, BJARGRÚNIR, is out now! We are extremely proud of the outcome, the result of 3 years’ (or more in fact) worth of research, trying out different kinds of arrangements during performances, going back and forth with every detail and putting all of our hearts into the project. The album contains in total 16 tracks; folk songs and ballads - including both original compositions and arrangements of old tunes from old written transcriptions or tape recordings. The oldest text on the album is from the 13th century. On six of the tracks our good friends Matthías Hemstock and Eggert Pálsson played percussion. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by tonmeister Ragnheiður Jónsdóttir and is released via labels Dimma and Nordic Notes (CD) and distributed on streaming platforms via Sony Music Iceland.
