Hugar – Varda

Vinyl, LP, Album

Icelandic natives Hugar have forged a musical lane all their own with a genre-defying sound. Combining a shared passion for music and an impressive resume working alongside fellow Icelandic luminaries Bjork, Sigur Ros, Olafur Arnalds and Johann Johannson, the longtime friends and natives of Seltjarnarnes began writing music together in 2013.

Through a series of impromptu sessions, Bergur and Petur recorded and released their independent self-titled debut Hugar the following year, making it available for free on their website. The sweepingly multi-layered and ethereally ambient album quickly amassed an organic following of listeners and has since racked up over 45 million streams worldwide on Spotify alone.
