Amiina (formerly Amína) is a string quartet: María Huld Markan (violin), Hildur Ársælsdóttir (violin), Edda Rún Ólafsdóttir (viola) and Sólrún Sumarliðadóttir (cello). The group makes music with a great number of instruments - synth, piano, electric and baroque guitar, celtic harp, harmonium, melodica, celesta, glockenspiel, gideon harp, call bells (also called “office” or “reception” bells), glass harp, kalimba, mandolin, and musical saw played with a bow.

The quartet gained notoriety for their album “Kurr” and their work as Sigur Rós’ string section on several of their albums and have been an accompaniment at live shows.

‘Kurr’- their first full length album, released June 2007. contains 12 tracks. The single ‘Seoul’ from Kurr was released in November 2006 and includes the tracks Ugla and Ammælis, all three of which are performed extensively during live shows. Their first EP titled Animamina is published under their previous name.

I, among others I guess, first knew the fabulous group Sigur Rós. And after 2 years, I really wanted to know about their amazing string quartet Amiina. Now I know them, and I can say only one thing: Why have I waited so long...
