Myrkvi (ISL)
Sie wurden zweimal bei den Icelandic Music Awards nominiert und hatten nationale Hits wie You Lost It. Später wurde die Unterscheidung zwischen den beiden Projekten unscharf.

Myrkvi officially began in 2020 as Magnús Thorlacius’ solo project. His debut single Sér um sig reached 2nd place on the national radio chart and Gamechanger soon followed reaching 5th place. The well-received debut album was released on 30.10.20 at the height of a world pandemic.
Magnús’ career began when he formed the band Vio, which won the 2014 Icelandic Battle of the Bands, with him also scooping the best singer award. The band became the indie darlings of Iceland for a while in the mid-2010s. They were nominated twice at the Icelandic Music Awards and enjoyed national hits like You Lost It. The distinction between the two projects later became fuzzy.
The Vio moniker was abandoned and Yngvi became involved with Myrkvi.
Myrkvi and his right-hand man, Yngvi Holm, are releasing an album together in 2023 called Early Warning. It represents a conclusion to the duo’s past and the transition into something new. An introspective reflection of their 90s roots, wasted years, and common lunacy.
