Blindfold is made up of four young vivacious Icelandic Londoners’ who have been creating their music that is drawing comparisons to Radiohead, Muse and Sigur Ros amongst others but with their own trademark sound and style. They have a passion for exploring new sounds and creating mesmerising songs, made by a vast mix of textures carefully crafted on only
Guitars [ Sven ]
Bass [ Teitur ]
Drums [ Friðrik ]
This alongside the enigmatic vocals of frontman & composer Biggi Hilmarsson is truly provoking and real. You have to experience them live and on record to understand why they will have real longevity and continued rave reviews. Blindfold are creating their own distinctive and un-paralleled cross genre music.
The debut album ‘Blindfold’ was received with un-precedented positive response and now their forthcoming new album is eagerly anticipated featuring the superb singles “Faking Dreams, Sad Face & Fit You” The press are saying they are creating music where everyone will want to own a ‘Blindfold’ album and their sound and style are pushing boundaries.
The Blindfold Sound? A mixture of hugely conflicting styles performed in such a way, that they create something both rather unique and beautiful. As with most Icelandic music to grace these shores, the emphasis is focused on dreamy melodies, sprawling post rock / shoegazing influences and with added bonus of basic electronics.
The debut album is a very personal and genuinely heartfelt collection of tracks; which could be linked to the recording sessions being spread over a 2 year period between 2002 and 2004, capturing contrasting feelings and emotions. The heights that Blindfold’s studio album, MySpace mp3’s and promos have scaled can only be exceeded by their live performances.
