Daníel Hjálmtýsson Biography
Daníel Hjálmtýsson is… think Nick Cave, Depeche Mode, NIN, Joy Division & QOTSA in a Leonard Cohen afterworld. An endless fiery love story, conflicting with the elements around you and within.
Daníel´s debut as a solo artist came in the wake of 2020 with the dark powerhouse ballad, “Birds”. Curated by Kevin Cole as KEXP´s Song of The Day later that year. Having previously released music via his side-project HYOWLP, Daníel signed with Dutch management company, Thero Agency after the song´s release and a debut EP was scheduled for fall. Bringing in his long-term band (Hálfdán Árnason & Skúli Gíslason) and a group of local and international collaborators, the self-titled EP was released in November, 2020.
The late American rock icon Mark Lanegan then said; “Daníel plays icy neo-goth music which brings to mind the forbidding landscape of his native Iceland. One can imagine him on the stage of a church turned dungeon somewhere in the Reykjavik underbelly.”
Daníel released three singles, “Colouring a Cloud“, “Back to Bed” and “Tabula Rasa” in 2021, along with a music video showcasing Daníel´s homeground during COVID-19, (the East fjörds of Iceland in a slumberland setting).
Daníel´s debut album, LABYRINTHIA, was released November 11th, 2022 via a digital release along with a very special merch desk special; a black satin cassette bag with goodies. Vinyl was released via Reykjavik Record Shop on March 23rd in super limited first pressing of standard black and deluxe lava colored vinyl,
Daníel is on tour in Iceland and Europe in 2023.
