Árstíðir is a vocal-based acoustic band from Reykjavík with a sound unique to the Icelandic music scene. All six members are distinguished players known from various bands in the Reykjavík soundscape. Over the two and a half years since Árstíðir’s formation, the band has released two records praised by trendsetting music critics, enjoyed two number-one hits on Icelandic radio, made several TV appearances in Iceland, Sweden, Russia and the Czech Republic, and played sold out venues all over Europe.
Árstíðir's second album Svefns og vöku skil contains 12 new songs which were written over a period of two years. During this time the sound of Árstíðir has gone through many changes. The new songs often have bigger arrangements and show a more experimental side to the band. The album was recorded in Studio Hljóðriti in June and July 2011 and was produced by Ólafur Arnalds.
Svefns og vöku skil will be released on October 6th, 2011.
