About
Combining disparate elements of electronics
(Þórður Kári Steinþórsson, aka ‘Doddi’), clarinet (Áslaug Rún Magnúsdóttir) and
Jófríður Ákadóttir’s enchanting voice, Samaris mix glacial electronica and
bold, percussive beats with haunting chant-like vocals - the lyrics culled from
nineteenth century Icelandic poems. “You could say the words have been
delicately sewn together and in a way they already have their song, their own
melody when you read them” suggests Áslaug. The overall effect is
simultaneously ancient and modern – an ethereal sound filled with dark spaces
and alien atmosphere.
