For a Minor Reflection

Hailing from Iceland FaMR comprises of four 19-year-olds from Reykjavík, Iceland - Kjartan Holm (guitar), Guðfinnur Sveinsson (guitar and piano), Elvar Jón Guðmundsson (bass) and Jóhannes Ólafsson (percussion). Their music is best described as energetic, melodious post-rock, though being the natural creative visionaries they are, the band expand and even subvert their style with almost every song.

Starting life as a hard rock duo in a tiny garage in Reykjavík, Iceland, For a Minor Reflection (FaMR) morphed into an indie rock trio (for a week or so) and a blues quartet (for a little longer) before finally arriving at their current incarnation: instrumental post-rockers du jour.

Back in 2007, the quartet struck up a fan base with their self-produced debut album Reistu þig við, sólin er komin á loft... (Rise and shine, the sun’s up...), a mesmerizing, hour-long tapestry featuring six songs and recorded over a weekend in Iceland. This record, as well as their energetic live shows, earned them a slew of accolades, including favourable comparisons to Explosions in the Sky, Caspain and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Their fellow Icelanders Sigur Rós even described them as “a band with the potential to out Mogwai”.

Following a scintillating live performance at 2007’s Iceland Airwaves, FaMR were invited to undertake a two-week 2008 tour in the USA and Canada. Later in the same year the band were invited to do 15 dates with Sigur Rós on a European tour and used the opportunity to release their album on iTunes, as well as selling it on the tour.

The band were slightly concerned that they might end up with stock left over after manufacturing 2000 copies, but they needn’t have worried: the records sold out, audiences loved them and their physical and online community grows stronger by the day.

In 2009, FaMR’s star has continued to rise. Aside from playing non-stop in Iceland’s local café and bar scene, they’ve been busy wow-ing festival crowds at events like Holland’s EurosSonic (Feb, 2009), where leading UK journal Music Week described their performance as “ethereal, melody-soaked music with international appeal.”

It’s hence with a ‘buzz in their ears’ that FaMR head back in the studio to work on new songs for a second album. They’re also plotting a European tour in May and hope to play more festivals in the summer to follow up on the interest so far, and introduce their new material. If things go the way they have been, 2009 looks to be FaMR’s most kick-ass year yet.

Reistu þig við, sólin er komin á loft... is out on ITunes
