Notes:

Written and recorded over the past year in Berlin, Reykjavik and Ireland, Black Lights is the Icelandic trios most fully realised and accessible record yet – sung for the first time entirely in English and headed up by gorgeous lead-off single Wanted 2 Say.Black Lights is a reflection on both the expanded horizons afforded by a year of experiences on the road following the release of 2014s Silkidrangar, and of a period of change and not a little emotional turmoil for all three band members. The way the new album came together reflects the changing personal personal circumstances of the group over the last year. All are now based in separate cities: rur Kri Steinrsson (aka Doddi – programming) relocating to Berlin to take part in the citys burgeoning techno scene, slaug Rn Magnsdttir (clarinet) to The Hague to study a specialised Sonology course and Jfrur kadttir (voice) footloose, traveling to experience new places and the musical cultures within them. Within months of forming in their teens in Reykjavik in 2011, Samaris had won both the Icelandic Msktilraunir and Kraumur Award. The release of their two Icelandic EPs as the eponymous, Samaris in summer 2013 served as their first introduction to the wider world. We want people to experience something they havent experienced before, they told a curious Dazed & Confused, and once Silkidrangar their debut LP proper had dropped, the original aspiration of just wearing funny costumes and thinking maybe we could get a gig in a bar in Reykjavik became distant memory as Samaris took their hypnotising show round the world taking in Roskilde, Green Man, Snar, Reeperbahn, Longitude, All Tomorrows
