Album Description

Bassist Þorgrímur „Toggi“ Jónsson presents his second solo album named Hagi. This music consists of 10 pieces plus 2 extra, written with this personal and formation of a band in mind. Here you have melodic and thoughtful compositions that varies from hymn like church music to pop and/or rock music of the 70ths. Influenced by the Icelandic nature and the ever changing weather, perhaps mostly from the Westfjords of Iceland, hence the title track Hagi, wich is a beautiful farm that has been in the same family for over 100 years located in the south of the Westfjords, and the track Rauðisandur, aka Red Sand Beach, one of the most impressive and beutiful places of the Westfjords. Thanks to Maggi, Röggi and Tommi for there beautiful playing on the album. Birgir, Ívar and Friðfinnur for the master full sound. Klara for the design. Diddi and my dad for the photos. Tónlistarsjóður, Hljóðritasjóður, Tónskáldasjóður STEFs and Menningarsjóður FÍH for supporting this project. And biggest thank you to my beautiful wife Birna and my beautiful daughters Katrín and Brynhildur, for there endless support and inspirations.
