Samaris single Viltu Vitrast released on 7th October 2013.


‘Elegant and unusual, this is a gem’ NME 8/10 
‘Imagine The xx and Little Dragon eloping to that magical forest in Lord of The Rings and you might be getting close to this record’s wonderfully paranormal aesthetic’ The Line of Best Fit 8/10 
‘Samaris specialise in gorgeous, haunting nocturnes’ Drowned In Sound
‘Samaris is superb. It’s fantastic. It’s amazing.’ The 405
‘This is an effortlessly atmospheric album that has all the arty sophistication of any great Icelandic act’ The Fly 4/5
‘An excellent forward thinking record from three talented musicians, not yet out of their teens’ Loud&Quiet  8/10
‘Mesmerisingly breathy groove from the young Icelandic combo, which should lure you to the delicious confections of their self-titled album’ Metro 

Icelandic teenage wunderkind Samaris’ first UK release comes in the shape of an eponymously-titled album on 29th July. Samaris compiles their two Icelandic-released EPs, Hljóma Þú (2011) and Stofnar falla (recorded at Sigur Rós’ Sundlaugin studio with Gunnar Tynes of múm, 2012.

Combining disparate elements of electronics (Þórður Kári Steinþórsson), clarinet (Áslaug Rún Magnúsdóttir) and Jófríður Ákadóttir’s haunting voice, Samaris mix glacial electronica and bold, percussive beats with haunting chant-like vocals - the lyrics culled from nineteenth century Icelandic poems. Viltu Vitrast for example retells an Icelandic folk tale about villages who ask for help from a supernal being, but worry it will choose not to manifest its power on Earth. The effect is simultaneously ancient and modern – an ethereal sound filled with dark spaces and alien atmosphere. 

Formed in 2011 in Reykjavik, within months Samaris had won both the Icelandic Músíktilraunir (past winners include the likes of Of Monsters and Men) and Kraumur Award. The band’s show at Iceland Airwaves in 2012, attracted the attention of Line Of Best Fit, Drowned In Sound and NPR amongst many others. Singer Jófríður also performs with her sister Ásthildur in the more folk-inclined Pascal Pinion.

 Quand mon ami Helmaud ( https://soundcloud.com/h-e-l-m-a-u-d ) m’a fait écouter son morceau de piano; une improvisation bien sentie et pleine de belles choses, je n’ai pas pu la laisser filer. J’ai donc entreprit le même travail ; j’ai mis le morceau, j’ai allumé mes machines et j’ai joué. Il me donne l’impression d’une histoire amoureuse, de la découverte à la passion. 

 Ce morceau est la tentative d'un accident maîtrisé, la recherche d'une coïncidence. Différents mouvements s'amorcent, cherchent à se comprendre et se retenir. Viennent les premiers accords. C'est l'étreinte. Les codes n'existent plus, la communication est insatisfaite... Un souffle cinglant arrive 


 When my friend Helmaud( https://soundcloud.com/h-e-l-m-a-u-d )made me listen to his piano piece; a heartfelt improvisation, full of beautiful things, I couldn't let it go. So I approached his work the same way he composed it : I launched the track, turned my machines on, and started to play. It gives me the impression of a love story, from discovery to passion
