About Ásgeir

As one of Iceland’s most successful exports, singer-songwriter Ásgeir has always pushed the boundaries of his thoughtful brand of folk-pop. Ásgeir's debut album ‘Dýrð í dauðaþögn’, currently celebrating its 10th anniversary, was the best-selling debut record ever in Iceland, in 2014 he released ‘In The Silence’, the English language version. He followed this with the introspective, emotive folktronica of ‘Afterglow’ in 2017 and 2020’s exceptional ‘Bury The Moon’. New album ‘Time On My Hands’ saw Ásgeir in a state of self-reflection and experimentation, having spent much of the last few years in his home and in the studio deeply engrossed in writing, recording, translating and producing. It was praised by the likes of The Independent, MOJO, NME, The Line Of Best Fit, Clash Magazine, BBC 6 Music and Radio X.
