hooves on the turf

Though Kristin Anna Valtysdottir followed the footsteps of her twin sister Gyoano in parting with Mum, the two founding members, Gunnar and Orvar, have added new friends to turn into a seven-piece. They will release go go smear the poison ivy on September 24th, preceeded by the single they made frogs smoke ’til they exploded on August 27th. After playing a handful of festival dates in Europe, and other yet-to-be-announced shows, they will play New York’s Wordless Music Series on October 9 & 10.

New members are:

Olof Arnalds (violin / viola / guitar / vocals)
Eiríkur Orri (trumpet / pianette / moog / whistling)
Hildur Gudnadottir (cello / vocals)
mr.Silla (Vocals / various)
Samuli Kosminen (drums / percussion)
