The Icelandic band Hugar is a duet formed by Bergur Þórisson & Pétur Jónsson. They have been playing together for many years in all kinds of different bands but in early 2012 they decided to go ahead and form a group of their own to experiment and take a personal direction in music. (Bergur is part of the live band of Ólafur Arnalds)
Their intriguing music can be described as a mixture of neo-classical, ambient & post-rock.
The first video of their debut album was just released & can be viewed down below.
