Valdimar was started in 2009 when Valdimar Guðmundsson and Ásgeir Aðalsteinsson started writing songs together in Ásgeir’s apartment. They quickly became a fully-fledged six-piece band and have become a household name in Iceland due to massive airplay on the radio. Their first two albums became a critical and commercial success in their home country. The music of Valdimar builds from being soft and intimate to an exciting hair-raising, heart-stirring energy when electro and indie mix with rootsy Americana.
