Background

Formed in Reykjavík in 2017 as teenagers, the band;s first public appearance was at Músíktilraunir,[5] an Icelandic music competition, where they made the finals. They released their first album, GRÓA, in April 2018 through Post-Dreifing, an art collective from the Reykjavík grassroots music scene.

They performed at Icelandic Airwaves in 2019 and their set was recorded and released on YouTube by KEXP.[6][2][7]

Their second album (Í Glimmerheimi) was released in April 2019 and their third (What I Like To Do) in August 2021) also via Post-Dreifing. Both of the later albums have also been released on US Label FOUND.[4]
