About
Kælan Mikla (lit. 'the Great Cold'; Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈcʰaiːlan ˈmɪhkla]) is an Icelandic post-punk band formed in 2013 in Reykjavík. The trio consists of lead vocalist Laufey Soffía, bassist Margrét Rósa Dóru-Harrýsdóttir and keyboardist Sólveig Matthildur Kristjánsdóttir. Their music has been described as post-punk, dark wave, cold wave and gothic.
The band's debut album Mánadans was recorded in 2014 and featured Matthildur on drums instead of synthesizer. They released a self-titled follow-up in 2016 by Fabrika Records, Nótt eftir nótt in 2018 and Undir köldum norðurljósum in 2021. They are currently signed to Artoffact Records.
The band has played the famous Dutch music festival Roadburn, been championed by Robert Smith of the Cure and opened for Placebo, Alcest, and Ville Valo of HIM.
