Musik aus Island in Wien!!!
Having released one of the very best albums of 2009 in Iceland according to critics and
others alike, Bloodgroup have risen from making simple electro pop in run-down houses in East-
Iceland to something much bigger.
Bloodgroup is made up of three talented Icelandic siblings, Hallur, Raggi and Lilja, and
Faroese techno mastermind Janus. This four-piece band is known for sensational live shows, their
captivating melodies and powerfully crafted brand of electronic music. Bloodgroup released their
debut album, Sticky Situation, in November 2007. The album was very well received, and
Bloodgroup were considered as one of the most interesting bands in Iceland following its release.
The next two years were spent mostly on touring, playing festivals like SXSW in Austin, Texas,
NXNE in Toronto, Canada, Roskilde festival in Denmark, CMJ in New York, Eurosonic in the
Netherlands and Iceland Airwaves.
Bloodgroup’s second album, Dry Land, was released in Iceland on December 2nd 2009. It
has been one of the most successful albums in Iceland since its release, praised by critics and the
first single, My Arms, has done extremely well on Icelandic radio. Dry Land received the Icelandic
independent ‚Kraumur‘ Album awards and has been called ‚the best album of the year‘ by most
critics in Iceland, and has been described as a big step forward for the band.
