Mógil
Mógil are a quartet hailing from Iceland and Belgium. The bandmembers are Heiða Árnadóttir (vocals), Ananta Roosens (violin), Joachim Badenhorst (clarinet/saxophone) and Hilmar Jensson (guitar). Their songs are all sung in Icelandic, true to old Icelandic folk texts.
In 2006, Mógil toured Iceland, playing in small churches throughout the country. Their debut-album, Ró, was also recorded in a small Icelandic Church in 2007, and was released in September 2008. This album combines the Icelandic folk-music with the Belgian experimental expertise.
