Originally a string quartet formed by four girls at the Reykjavík College of Music in the 1990s, amiinawent on to cut its teeth as Sigur Rós‘ string section for the next decade. Now a sextet after a recent masculine infusion, amiina released its second full length album, Puzzle, in September 2010.
amiina’s debut album, Kurr (2007), was performed on a disparate jumble of instruments – musical saws, kalimbas, music boxes and seemingly anything that could be plucked, bowed or beaten on – resulting in a work that ebbed and flowed “in a strange, powerful place between sophistication and innocence,” according to The Guardian.
