Miri. Okkar

Miri is a band of four guys from the remote east fjords Iceland. They have been making their strange instrumental post-rock dance music since 2006.With countless shows under their belts they have gained a reputation as an energetic and a playful live band and infamous for their epic mid-song speeches about life, happiness and peace. And synchronized dance moves. Okkar is Miri's first full length release. Okkar can be described as an instrumental alternative rock album (one song has some vocals). It though treads lightly on the verge of being a post-rock album, but without the dramatic gloom often attached to such music. Okkar was recorded, produced and mixed by Curver (Ghostigital). Among guests on the album are a whole brass quartet, Örvar Þóreyjarson Smárason (múm, FM Belfast) who sings and plays the harmonica and Ólafur Björn Ólafsson (Benni Hemm Hemm, Stórsveit Nix Nolte) on xylophone and marimba.
