Apex Anima is the solo project of Icelandic musician and visual artist Unnur Andrea Einarsdóttir. After years of singing and performing with numerous bands and musicians in Reykjavik and abroad, she started focusing on her own music productions, where experimental pop meets with various genres of electronica. Apex Anima plays music from her second album that will be released this year as well as gems from her award-winning album Elf F O.

KRÍURNAR (The Arctic Terns) are fiercely territorial, diving at unwanted visitors while letting out loud, piercing cries. They feed mainly on small fish and crustaceans. They're also an all-female punk/metal band—where the girls say whatever they want, make as much noise as they like, and aren't afraid to be loud.

TOTA – Þórhildur Kristín Lárentsínusdóttir

SAGA – Saga Líf Sigþórsdóttir

TRILLA – Davíð Þór Hlynsson

HRAFNHILDUR – Hrafnhildur Birna Hallgrímsdóttir

ÞÓRDÍS – Thordis Claessen

The Danish-Icelandic duo

slóra, with vocalist/keyboardist Sara Flindt and drummer/percussionist Svanhildur Lóa, explores the space between improvisation and composition. Their music draws on elements of songwriting while embracing the freedom of the avant-garde, blending synths, piano, drums and pedal manipulation. By exploring hierarchy in music and language, slóra invites new ways of listening.
