biography / portrait

amiina is a band from Reykjavik, Iceland, that has been together in various forms and guises since the late 1990s. In 2004 they started working on their first release, the EP AnimaminA, that they self-released in December that same year. In May 2005 the EP was licenced to US label The Worker's Institute, and in Australia and New Zealand label Speak'n Spell. Since 2005 they have been working on a full-length album as well as touring around the world with fellow Icelandic band Sigur Rós, both as support band and providing strings and other bits in the Sigur Rós set. Their new single Seoul is now out online, released by Rumraket in Europe and Worker's Institute in the US. Their full-length debut, Kurr, will be released June 18th worldwide by Ever records, except for Australia and New Zealand where Speak'n Spell will handle the release. Kurr has already been pre-released through amiina's own label Bláskjár records and is available at their shows (source: amiina's myspace)
