**BREAKING NEWS**
This released on web.
FEB 2010 will see AMPOP reform for 2 concerts only in LONDON and ICELAND and will see the proper release of studio album ’ SAIL TO THE MOON’ followed by a BEST OF AMPOP album.
The record will be available only through cinepoprecords.com.
Ampop is an Icelandic melodic-pop/rock band from Reykjavík, Iceland. The name of the band is actually the name of the first song they ever wrote, and is made from the words ambient and pop, which they thought was the definition of the music they were making at that time.
The band was originally a duo, but before making their third album they added a drummer to the band. The band currently consists of 3 members:
Biggi: Guitar, Vocals
Kjartan: Keyboards
Jón Geir: Drums
Those in the know will have first come across the band through their two critically acclaimed electronic based albums released in their homeland. The second of these (“Made for Market”) was considered by many local critics the best Icelandic album of 2003. Their one supporter outside Iceland was John Peel.
Keen to develop their sound the band bunkered down in their own studio and over time developed a more organic and song based direction moving away from the more electronic influences of their earlier material. The first examples of the band’s new direction were demo versions of two songs, “My Delusions” and “Don’t let me down” which saw the light of day early in 2005.
