Description:



Icelandic music is related to Nordic music forms, and includes vibrant folk and pop traditions, including medieval music group Voces Thules, alternative rock band The Sugarcubes, singers Bjork and Emiliana Torrini; and Sigur Ros. The only folk band whose recordings are available abroad is Islandica.There are many record labels in Iceland. 12 Tonar, Smekkleysa and Sena being the biggest. Icelandic music as of today consists of a big group of bands, ranging from pop-rock groups such as Salin hans Jons mins, A moti sol (Rockstar: Supernova Magni's band), Irafar, I Svortum Fotum, Quarashi, Bang Gang, Amiina, and Skitamorall, to solo ballad singers like Bubbi Morthens, Megas, Bjorgvin Halldorsson and Pall Rosinkranz, and all the way to reggae band Hjalmar and Bulgarian indie-folk band Storsveit Nix Noltes. The indie-scene is also very strong in Iceland, bands such as Mum, Sigur Ros and the solo artist Mugison are fairly well-known outside Iceland. Easily the most famous Icelandic artist is eclectic singer and composer Bjork, who has received 13 Grammy nominations and sold over 15 million albums world wide including two platinum albums and one gold album in the United States.
