CeaseTone

Ceasetone is the brainchild of Hafsteinn Þráinsson, guitar player, composer, producer and collaborator of projects such as Axel Flóvent and Agent Fresco . Starting out in 2012 as an acoustic solo projoect but quickly grew in scope as the music stretched into a wider range of genres ranging from its folky acoustic roots to ambient-electronic soundscapes, coloured by strings and bound together with powerful indie rock with some classical influences on top.
"they’re Icelandic purveyors of solemn, intense shoegaze with a string quartet, suggesting a new genre – chamber post-rock – The Guardian"

Along with Hafsteinn there is Sólrún Mjöll Kjartansdóttir on drums and Jökull Brynjarsson on Bass and Keyboards.
Ceasetone's debut album "Two Strangers" was released in 2016 gathering great praise inside and outside of Iceland earning a place on music lover's top 10 lists all around and a nomination as Album Of The Year at Icelandic Music Awards.
Playing live, Ceasetone has been praised for both Hafsteinn's solo acoustic performances packed with emotion and energy and the band's full performance with ambitious and powerful shows.
