This band from Iceland was formed in 2012. The sound of Hymnalaya is rooted in old Hymns which are combined with indie, ethnic and ambient textures. The band can be found on Youtube, Facebook and on their website here.
This is my favorite Icelandic band. I them play a stripped down set my first night in Reykjavik, and I’ve jumped at the chance to see the band every chance since then.
