A singer/songwriter kind of stuff but arranged for a band. All acoustic, folk/pop/jazz donno
Groundfloor, a band from Reykjavik, Iceland, Actually a two man show of Oli and Halli wich began in 2003. Oli the singer/songwriter hooked up with doublebassplayer/arranger/manager Halli in Rvk, after years of disliking each other and began the work of Groundfloor. After months of practicing and few duo gigs around they formed the quartet Groundfloor and in Mai 2004 The band went in to the studio to take down 13 songs, with some great guests. Trumpeter Jean Philip Flugel aka. Jon Oskar played on the session. A sax man from the acclaimed Icelandic noiseband Ghostdigital, Hrafn, blew a storming solo and his wife and a good friend, composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir, played a great outro on the record. Harpa Thorvaldsdottir also did some vocals as she had already done on some major concerts. After the recordings the band kept on playing for a while and composed new material. In the year 2008 Groundfloor released a 11 track studio record "Bones", recorded in Greenhouse studio 2004 and followed that through with a tour in Iceland the summer of 2008 and through Europe summer 2009. The band is working on new stuff with altered members Harpa voc/piano, Thorri voc/drums and Julia violin for their next record, recorded in Sonic Flow Salzburg and due to be released in summer/autumn 2010.
