ADHD

ADHD (IL)

ADHD first got together in February 2008 to perform at a blues festival in Höfn – a village in the volcanic south of Iceland. The chemistry between  the  four players was immediate and the  following year their debut album, self-titled adhd,   won them stellar reviews, as well as “Jazz-album of  the year” at  the  Icelandic Music Awards. The album contains seven songs, that are melodic and melancholic at times.

Their  second  album,  adhd2,  explores  further  avenues  in  the  already  exciting  musical universe  that  is  ADHD.  It contains  nine  songs  by  the  band's members.  The  album was recorded  in  Island Studios  in Vestmannaeyjar over  the period of five days  in  late February 2011, and was released in early August that same year.   The album received great reviews in the Icelandic media and was nominated in four categories, "Best Jazz Album", "Best Jazz tune", Ómar  (ADHD´s guitarist) was nominated  for his contribution on  this album and  they were also nominated for "Best Performance". ADHD was also nominated on Icelands behalf to the Nordic Music Prize 2011.

ADHD drove up  to Logaland  in Borgarfjörður  to  record some music  this August. The plan was  to  record at  least one  record. But as  it  turned out,  they  recorded  two albums, adhd3 and adhd4. The music on these two albums include a few new elements to ADHD´s musical universe,  including  a  grand  piano,  a  baritone  saxofone  etc.  All  done  in  the  favor  of  the music! The two albums will be released in January 2013 on CONTEMPLATE.
