about

"Hætta Að Anda" is a mesmerizing journey through the sonic landscapes of Icelandic post-rock, captivating listeners with its cool, mysterious driving vibe. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this imaginative and intriguing composition unfolds like a story told without the need for lyrics, inviting the audience to immerse themselves in its atmospheric depths.

The song begins with Mike's single note repetition, setting the stage for the unfolding musical narrative. Jussi's guitar work quickly joins in, adding layers of texture and melody that intertwine seamlessly with the rest of the ensemble. Each instrument plays a vital role in the arrangement, contributing to the rich tapestry of sound that defines the band's signature style.

Recorded in a disused warehouse, the ambiance of the space adds an extra dimension to the music, enhancing its raw and organic quality. The eight-piece band, comprised of talented musicians including Jussi Siglarson on guitar, Bjarne Guðjohnsen on bass, Matthias Helguson on drums, Mike Taylor on keyboards, Lisbeth Heima and Sif Árnadóttir on violins, Natasha Guðmundsdóttir on viola, and Ída Sigurðardóttir on cello, come together with an effortless synergy that can only be achieved through shared passion and dedication to their craft.

As the song progresses, each instrument builds upon the motifs introduced earlier, weaving a complex sonic tapestry that ebbs and flows with a sense of tension and release. From the haunting melodies of the violins to the pulsating rhythms of the drums, every element of "Hætta Að Anda" works in harmony to create a truly captivating listening experience.

With its evocative atmosphere and masterful musicianship, "Hætta Að Anda" stands as a testament to the power of instrumental music to transport listeners to otherworldly realms, leaving them spellbound by its beauty and depth.
