Kjartan frequently works with progressive treatment of tonal material which shows in his works. He is an avid researcher on noise and its affect on the body and brain and has a Bachelor’s degree in classical compositions.

Jónsi

As a solo artist, Jónsi expands on the emotional intensity and sense of wonder he pioneered with Icelandic post-rock luminaries Sigur Rós. On his 2010 debut Go, he introduced his adventurous perspective on pop, while his music for films ranging from 2010’s How to Train Your Dragon to 2018’s Boy Erased built on his well-established flair for atmosphere. Comfortable collaborating with artists as diverse as Troye Sivan and Swedish composer Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Jónsi cleverly juxtaposed these artistic extremes on 2020’s Shiver.

After spending 16 years as Sigur Rós’ singer/guitarist, Jon Thor Birgisson first ventured away from his band to make music with his partner and frequent collaborator Alex Somers as Jónsi & Alex, whose July 2009 album Riceboy Sleeps featured the Icelandic string quartet Amiina and the Kópavogsdætur choir. Using his nickname as his solo moniker, he released his debut album Go on his longtime label XL the following April. Produced by Peter Katis and including contributions from Nico Muhly, Samuli Kosminen , and Somers , the album’s largely acoustic sound, poppier songwriting, and predominantly English-language vocals set it apart from his work with Sigur Rós. Reaching number 20 on the U.K. Album Charts and number 23 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart, Go was also issued in a limited-edition box set that contained the concert film Go Quiet. In November of 2010, Jónsi released Go Live, a CD/DVD set that included live recordings taken during the European leg of the tour on the CD and live footage of dress rehearsals shot before the tour kicked off. That December, Jónsi contributed the track “Sticks and Stones” to the soundtrack of the hit children’s movie How to Train Your Dragon (he also wrote songs and music for the film’s sequels How to Train Your Dragon 2 and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World). “Sticks and Stones” led Jónsi to work with Cameron Crowe on the soundtrack to the director’s 2011 film We Bought a Zoo.

With the 2011 release of Sigur Rós’ live audio/video project Inní, Jónsi’s focus returned to his band for the next few years. Sigur Rós issued 2012’s Valtari and 2013’s Kveikur, and toured extensively in 2017. The band debuted the ambient multimedia project Liminal in 2018, while Jónsi restarted his solo career. Along with contributing the song “Who Are You Thinking Of?” and the Troye Sivan collaboration “Revelation” to the film Boy Erased, he also issued the demos and rarities collection Frakkur. In 2019, Jónsi debuted Dark Morph , his environmentally minded project with Swedish composer Carl Michael von Hausswolff ; their self-titled debut album arrived that May. That year also marked the tenth anniversary of Riceboy Sleeps, which he and Somers commemorated with a tour and the October release of their album Lost & Found. In addition, he exhibited his visual artwork at a Los Angeles gallery late that year. After appearing on Juliana Barwick ‘s album Healing Is a Miracle, Jónsi returned with his second solo album Shiver in October 2020. Featuring appearances by Elizabeth Fraser and Robyn as well as executive production by PC Music ‘s A.G. Cook, the album juxtaposed bright electronic pop with somber passages and textures. ~Heather Phares & Tim Sendra, Rovi

Sin Fang

The solo project of singer/songwriter and Seabear founder Sindri Már Sigfússon, Sin Fang explores the crossroads of intimate indie rock, ’60s pop, Icelandic folk, and indie electronica. After releasing debut album Clangour as Sin Fang Bous in 2009, Sigfússon shorted the project’s name to Sin Fang. He favored a glitchy electronic palette on fourth album Spaceland (2016) before collaborating with Sóley and Múm’s Örvar Smárason on the soft-spoken, electro-acoustic Team Dreams in 2017.

Hailing from Reykjavik, Sigfússon started Seabear as a solo effort before it morphed into a seven-piece for the 2007 project debut Ghost That Carried Us Away. The follow-up, We Built a Fire, arrived in 2010. Striking back out on his own, Sin Fang — originally Sin Fang Bous — found Sigfússon delving into similarly minded territory with music that combined elements of indie pop, rock, folk and electronic styles. Sin Fang Bous released its debut album, Clangour, on Morr Music in 2009. In 2011, Sigfússon dropped the “Bous” for his sophomore effort, Summer Echoes. Flowers, which arrived in early 2013, offered a more anthemic take on the project’s sound. Keeping a relatively intimate tone but leaving behind any remaining folk elements for electronics, Spaceland was released by Morr Music in 2016. Guests on the album included fellow Nordic solo artists Jónsi, Sóley, and Farao. Sin Fang and Sóley teamed up again, this time with Örvar Smárason , for 2017’s Team Dreams, a balanced collaboration credited to all three of them. With guests including Summer Echoes rhythm section Arnljótur Sigurdsson (bass) and Magnús Trygvason Eliassen (drums), 2019’s Sad Party opted for dreamy synth pop. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
