The sand whispers secrets under my feet
The sun's a hammer pounding heat
Shadows stretch thin
Then they retreat
No mercy here
No room to cheat

[Chorus]
Attack the Atacama
No turning back
Chasing the horizon on a dusty track
Attack the Atacama
The sky’s on fire
Every step burns
But I climb higher

[Verse 2]
Cactus guards hold their silent stance
Bones of the earth in a deadly dance
The wind’s got teeth
It cuts like glass
This desert don’t care if you’re first or last

[Prechorus]
Keep moving
Keep moving
No room for losing

[Chorus]
Attack the Atacama
No turning back
Chasing the horizon on a dusty track
Attack the Atacama
The sky’s on fire
Every step bien 
But I climb higher

[Bridge]
The stars at night
They glare
They judge
The moon don’t care
It won’t budge
Every breath feels like a war
But I’ll keep going
I’ll give it more

[instrumental]

I have a studio full of instruments i don't know how to turn on. I play the Piano and drums and love a bit of techno and house.

As one of Iceland’s most successful exports, singer-songwriter Ásgeir has always pushed the boundaries of his thoughtful brand of folk-pop. His debut album, ‘Dýrð í dauðaþögn’, became the best-selling debut in Icelandic history, leading to the English-language version ‘In The Silence’ in 2014. He continued to refine his sound with ‘Afterglow’ in 2017, ‘Bury The Moon’ in 2020, and ‘Time On My Hands’ in 2022’, earning praise from press and radio worldwide, including the likes of The Independent, MOJO, NME, The Line Of Best Fit, Clash Magazine, BBC 6 Music and Radio X.
 
In recent years, Ásgeir has embraced solo performances, playing nearly 70 intimate shows across Europe, the Nordics, and Iceland, including a UK tour with Icelandic singer GDRN. He also performed with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra and recorded a live session for Arte TV in Berlin. His passion for live music has taken him to unique venues, including small churches, deepening his connection with audiences. He wrote a song for a Kafkaesque play that was hosted at The Reykjavik City Theatre called Sýslumaður Dauðans.
 
Ásgeir is now back with his next album, focusing on songwriting with a fresh approach; prioritizing melody and personal storytelling, exploring themes of relationships, aging, hope, and nostalgia. His influences range from Leonard Cohen and Daniel Lanois to contemporary artists like Adrianne Lenker and Dina Ögon.
 
The album’s production was a hands-on process, with Ásgeir playing most of the instruments and collaborating with a select group of musicians, including Nashville cellist Nat Smith. Recorded both solo and with a band, the songs capture an organic, heartfelt energy. With this new chapter, Ásgeir continues to evolve, offering music that is as introspective and accomplished as ever as well as deeply resonant.
