Icelandic alternative rock band Ampop is known for its ethereal soundscapes, dreamlike melodies, and cinematic depth. Blending elements of indie rock, electronica, and post-rock, the band has crafted a unique sonic identity that resonates with listeners worldwide.
Originally an electronic duo, Ampop expanded into a full-fledged band, integrating lush instrumentation and emotive vocals. Their critically acclaimed albums, including Made for Market (2002), My Delusions (2005), and Sail to the Moon (2007), showcase their ability to create atmospheric yet deeply personal music.
The band consists of:
Biggi Hilmars – Vocals, guitar, and keyboards. An acclaimed composer, he is known for his evocative film and TV scores.
Kjartan F. Ólafsson (Kjarr) – Keyboards and synths. A solo artist under Kjarr, he blends Icelandic folk with electronic and alternative elements.
Jón Geir Jóhannsson – Drums and percussion. A seasoned drummer, he has played in multiple bands, including the Viking metal group Skálmöld.
Ampop’s music has been featured in film, TV, and international campaigns, broadening their reach beyond Iceland. Often compared to Sigur Rós, Radiohead, and M83, they continue to captivate audiences with their evocative sound and introspective lyrics.
