Amina (later changing its name to Amiina) is an experimental quartet who can often be found playing live and working with fellow popular Icelandic band Sigur R=s. Merging violins and cellos with ambient electronics, the group includes Hildur -rsµlsd=ttir, Edda R·n +lafsd=ttir, Maria Huld Markan Sigf·sd=ttir, and S=lr·n Sumarli=ad=ttir. The four met while studying at the Reykjavfk College of Music in the 1990s. In late 2004, they finally self-released a proper EP, AnimaminA, picked up by U.S. label The Worker's Institute in May 2005. Their first full-length album, Kurr, arrived in March 2007. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, Rovi
