“,,She carves her own space between electronic vibes and multi-layered classic arrangements for a full band. From the very first song of the album, Our Great Escape, MIMRA grabs attention with her wide range of voice and deep passion in personal lyrics. If you look for being touched by music, you will get it here.””
Icelandic recording artist, producer and songwriter, MIMRA, first captivated audiences with her eclectic and vocally enchanting music in 2014. Ever since she has created rich sonic layered music with delicate but complex blend of alternative folk-pop with a pinch of electronics, jazz and soul. MIMRA, the solo project of María Magnúsdóttir, awes with a magical vocal dexterity and range.
MIMRA released her anticipated EP, Finding Place, in April 2022. MIMRA, producer and multi-intstrumentalist Stefán Örn Gunnlaugsson, keyboardist Helga Ragnarsdóttir, drummer Sólrún Mjöll Kjartansdóttir and bassist Sam Pegg form the MIMRA band.
Released to critical acclaim both within Iceland and abroad, MIMRA’s debut album „Sinking Island” saw daylight in 2017. Self-recorded, produced and mixed by the artist, the album was part of María’s studies at Goldsmiths, University of London, where she mastered her technical skills and knowledge of popular music.
““Her compositions are multidimensional and enchant with extravagant effects and subtle details. María’s vocals are amazing and impressing in scale, colour and purity [...] From the first seconds of “Sinking Island” we transcend into a magical land of delicacy and subtlety” ”
“MIMRA ambitiously sows numerous genres and sounds together to great effect, expertly manoeuvring between delicate sparseness and powerful vivacity. Her vocals are astounding, both in terms of range and dexterity, and function as the glue which unifies the eclecticism of her music. The passion and strength of MIMRA’s voice simply cannot be ignored and aligns her with the best of them.”
