UMbra
ICELAND
Umbra is critically acclaimed as “one of the most interesting ensembles” in Iceland, particularly for their musical ambition and “outstanding arrangements” in the field of ancient and traditional music. Their first record, “Out of darkness” was released early 2018 by independent music label Dimma and followed later the same year by their second album, “Solstitium” which won Record of the Year at the 2018 Icelandic Music Awards. Their fourth album “Llibre vermell” was released in 2019, garnering wide attention and a nomination and their brand new album Bjargrúnir will be released in May.
