I am in love with these girls. I just got their new 3 track EP, Seoul. If you caught their shows with Sigur Ros earlier in the year you'll recognise the tracks. Seoul features the wonderful musical saw and the track with the cool casio beats is on the disc too.
The copy I have looks like it has been screenprinted so I don't know how widely available it will be. I got mine from Sandbag
i have another ep and it is very nice going to sleep music.
myspace
beautiful pre-sleep music.
The brunette chello player please . . . thankyou.
There's something hot about chicks with strings.
for hazard man.
amiina
yes - they are amazing. amiina, that is, though hot chicks with strings... yes. also.
damn.
i have another ep and it is very nice going to sleep music.
and that's exactly what i did with it last night, poprocks :)
Animamina is the EP i got and yes, tis most fabulous..
bumping this thread because I love these kids. I also found this fantastic Youtube thing from Icelandic TV.
Amiina live on tv
lookout for the comeback of the musical saw....
debut album, Kurr, is available for pre-order
good news!
did anyone else see Screaming Masterpiece?
this is where they won me over.
I WANT ONE!
Out through Etch n Sketch/Inertia June 2nd in Aus . . .
Hey red . . . where did you see Screaming Masterpiece?? I've been looking for that locallly for a while (don't really want to do the region whatever internet import order).
June 2nd! What a great birthday treat for me! me! me!
I actually saw Screaming Masterpiece at MIFF a couple of years back. I lahved eet.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen it screened since, or available locally on DVD.
OMG June 2nd? I know who you are now!!
Also, I hate to say it, but you guys are the laziest bunch of jerks EVER!
actually, June 3rd.
so you don't :p
oh that stuff is bewdiful!
bump for amiina!
i like amiina! beyond the sigur ros strings novelty!
They are awesome. Screaming Masterpiece at MIFF was also my intro. It turns up on e-bay a fair bit, picked it up new for under $20 including postage.
Enjoyed the ep I have a lot so can't wait to hear the album.
dump those sigur ros boys and do an australian headline tour Amiina!!!
i still want to marry them. all of them. at once.
yes please, runoutgroove!
i got the new album the other day. beautiful packaging in a thick cardboard digipak thingo.
this new album is beautiful. Quiet, melodic and hypnotic. easily meets my reasonably high expectations.
I really want to hear this, runoutgroove! I'm listening to Sigur Ros right now, but thinking about Amiina.
i think you'll like this EH.
I'm sure that I shall, when I can get my hands on it. I really like the *Animamina * EP.
Where'd you get it runoutgroove ???
mailorder. i couldn't wait and i wasn't sure if the initial special packaging would be repeated here.
sandbag
it's super awesome.
you can also order the Amiina tea towl and bedtime slippers too haz man.
Hah! They're knitting on the cover! I love it already!
Oh dude, towel and slippers . . . I'm so there!!
And how awesome is this tote bag!?!?
You guys might like this dude...

the sleeve photo is actually a little dark but if you look closely, the funny thing is, Edda Rún (second from left) looks like she concentrating really really hard on the knitting. serious stuff.
has it been a whole week? bump for amiina.
There's also a limited CD and 12" of the 'Seoul' single taken from the new album. I know for a fact that the 12"s are getting imported, but you may have trouble tracking down the CD version. FYI, Frakkur is Jonsi of Sigur Ros.
Also, had anyone posted anything on this? It's a free download of a live set they did on KEXP radio, Seattle >> http://aminamusic.com/news/2006/12/kexp_session_do.php
thanks for that HM. still mulling over the purchase though...money is tight and i'm saving for the múm LP...
Looks like Kurr is getting a vinyl release this month on One Little Indian link to norman records
New album!
see their website
New album is out along with a cute xmas website thingy
the age says they're playing at the melbourne recital hall wednesday and thursday. anyone going?
I think the only 'normal' show is the Wednesday night, the Thursday one is a kids daytime show - Recital Hall
I'm pretty tempted to see them again.
How much is it? I keep forgetting to check. Can't really afford the time but have really wanted to see something like this at the MRC.
$45/55... has anyone seen them before? Worth it? Probably more than I can comfortably afford too.
Would love to go. Can't.
Sadface.
It's recital centre!
they'll get angry, and you don't want to see those classical music types angry.
it's just a bit too expensive and badly timed for me, but it would of been nice to finally see them live. would have been better if they supported sigur ros too
well... the B-reserve price of $45 is pretty similar to Tuneyards last weekend at the Corner... and MRC has much better acoustics, and you'll be able to see a lot better. I think it's quite cheap for a 6 piece that has been flown from Iceland.
I will go with you.
interview with them in the age today
Erm...
Definitely not griping about the price, I just can't afford it myself.
i should clarify that the ticket price is reasonable for them, but it's just that i have no money
fair enough then... tricky time of year for funds.
This is nearly sold out. I wouldn't risk a buy-on-the-door situation (unless you're a student and doing student rush)
