Reykjavík, Iceland

Amiina (formerly Amína) is a string quartet from Reykjavík, Iceland: María Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir (violin), Hildur Ársælsdóttir (violin), Edda Rún Ólafsdóttir (viola) and Sólrún Sumarliðadóttir (cello). The group makes music with a great number of instruments - synth, piano, electric and baroque guitar, celtic harp, harmonium, melodica, celesta, glockenspiel, gideon harp, call bells (also called “office” or “reception” bells), glass harp, kalimba, mandolin, and musical saw played with a bow.

The quartet gained recognition for their album Kurr and their work as Sigur Rós string section on several of their albums and have been an accompaniment at live shows.

Kurr, their first full length album, released June 2007, contains 12 tracks. The single Seoul was released in November 2006 and it includes also the tracks

Ugla and

Ammælis, all three of which are performed extensively during live shows. Their first EP titled Animamina is published under their previous name.

Some propositions: http://www.amiina.com This is the correct official site. Does anyone have info on the new album? There's a little memo on the website saying that 2010 will feature a new album.
