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.

Kurr is very pretty, but seems really emotionally lacking.

I guess I'm kind of disappointed with Re Minore. I remember reading about how whilst recording Kurr they were just beginning to feel comfortable using their voices as instruments and how they believed that their vocals would add a new layer to their music. I suppose I was kind of expecting this EP to be vocal harmony heavy. All in all it isn't a bad record I just don't think it holds a candle to their previous releases.
