M-Band is the project of Icelandic multi-instrumentalist Hörður Már Bjarnason. His music combines beat-driven nu-electronica with his heart wrenching tenor vocals, and has been described by many as atmospheric, captivating and dreamy. He works with a wide variety of influences, ranging from house and R’nB, to Arabian and Eastern-European world and folk music, but in the end his music is more than anything distinctively his own. His live setup consists of analog synthesizers, drum machines, samplers and loopers, enabling him to deliver a powerful and complex live rendition of his music.

M-Band is classically trained pianist who started his alternative music career playing with various bands in his hometown, a rural village in the South of Iceland, but soon found his way to the capital city, where he joined Retrobot, (winners of the 2012 Icelandic Battle of the Bands), and later, the electro-pop ensemble Nolo. Aside from performing as M-Band, he also collaborates with the electronic musician Tonik.

M-Band's debut LP, Haust (trans: Autumn), is a collection of eight tracks that exist in a twilit late-night space. Be it an empty freeway, a crowded dancefloor, or a rooftop out under the stars, Haust presents a series of engrossing and affecting nocturnal atmospheres.
