​SÓLRÚN MJÖLL & JAAKKO AROLA

Picture

Sólrún Mjöll and Jaakko Arola crossed paths within Reykjavík’s underground music scene, first performing together in noise and improvisation ensembles rooted in the city's DIY-culture. The two started to collaborate together as a duo in 2025, building a practice upon collective compositions and free improvisation. Their music moves fluidly from grooves and riffs into minimalistic soundscapes and textures, with bursts of high intensity free jazz.

​The duo started to work on their debut album in 2025, which is to be released during 2026.
