Dyrd I Daudathogn (Vinyl)

Product Description

Originally recorded only in Icelandic, Asgeir's debut release, 'Dyrd i daudathogn,' broke all records to become Iceland's fastest and biggest selling debut album by a home grown artist, outselling the debuts of superstars Bjork and Sigur Ros combined. Having sold more than 30,000 copies in his home country alone, a staggering one in ten Icelanders now own a copy of this album. Asgeir swept last year's Icelandic Music Awards, picking up four trophies including Best Pop/Rock Album and Best Newcomer.

Growing up in a musical family in Laugarbakki, a tiny hamlet in the wilds of Iceland (Population 40), a passion for singing and music was instilled in Asgeir from a very early age. To keep up with his parents and siblings who were all involved with music in different ways, Asgeir started playing guitar when he was only six and writing his own music at nine. After moving to the city at sixteen and producing a five track demo only four short years later.
