Gyða Valtýsdóttir has announced a new album, entitled Evolution. Gyða is a familiar face to Icelandic music lovers. In 1997, she was a founding member of legendary band múm. The band has gained widespread recognition for their brand of slow-burn melancholy over glitch beats, often imitated but seldom matched. After leaving the group in 2002 she moved to Russia to finish her study of classical cello.

That’s Gyða Valtýsdóttir for you: a dark enigma moving through space and sound with elegant intuition. Known for her ethereal voice and experimental ventures with Icelandic phenomenon múm, Gyða has been diving deeper into unknown waters as a solo musician for quite some time now. She’s taken part in various collaborations and, in 2017, released her first solo collection: ‘Epicycle,’ a series of her favourite composed pieces from throughout history-fragments of her musical life-reworked, and sewn together into an album. But if that presence was the spark that lit the fire of ‘Evolution,’ the rest of the album followed organically, forming a process whose sole certain reference point was its beginning. I didn’t know where this album was going, but I think there is definitely a lot of guidance whether you call it your higher self, or your subconscious mind, Gyða says.

Gyða Valtýsdóttir is one of them. First coming to prominence as a member of experimental pop group múm in the late 90s, the t left the band to study classical cello and has since built a diverse and vibrant solo career as a performer and composer. Despite her productive output, Gyða only just released her first album of original music, Evolution, in October. I don’t think of myself as a singer-songwriter. I do so many things in music. When I was younger, I would write songs really just for myself
