Following the release of their self-titled debut full length last year, Icelandic 3-piece Samaris release their new album ‘Silkidrangar'.

The UK release last July of the groups’ two Icelandic EPs as the eponymous Samaris sparked widespread interest, Dazed & Confused proffering an Einar Orn sponsored feature while glowing reviews appeared everywhere from the NME to the FT.

Suddenly the original aspiration of “just wearing funny costumes and thinking maybe we could get a gig in a bar in Reykjavik” was the stuff of distant memory as they moved into the international scene playing European festivals like Sonar, Berlin Music Week, Electric Picnic and a sold out JaJaJa show in London. The Line Of Best Fit nominated them the No.1 act to see at Airwaves 2013 .

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 groups’ performance at Iceland Airwaves in 2012, attracted the attention of Line Of Best Fit, Drowned In Sound and One Little Indian amongst many others. Singer Jófrí?ur also performs with her sister Ásthildur in the more folk-inclined Pascal Pinion.
