Katla. is an Icelandic band featuring ex-S?lstafir drummer and visual artist Gu?mundur ?li P?lmason and singer/multi-instrumentalist Einar Thorberg Gu?mundsson (Fort??, Potentiam). Named after one of Iceland's greatest active volcanos, Katla. creates ultra wide-angle, panoramic music that showcases shimmering guitars, hook-laden melodies, soaring synths and a dark, entrancing power. While the duo's horizon-stretching sound gets its hooks in fast, and doesn't let go; the lyrics, delivered with distinctive voice and darkwave-like melancholic undercurrent, take their time seeping in, centering on both the joys and trials of living in a country of sharp contrasts. A place where fire and ice co-exist and dark winters are offset by the summer's midnight sun. A country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture. It is time for Katla to erupt again
