Arny Margret at Pohoda 2022
The Icelandic Saturday at Café Kušnierik will offer also a concert by only twenty-year-old songwriter Arny Margret. A native of the picturesque Westfjords region, she released her debut EP Intertwined this February. Clash called the eponymous single breathtaking and suggestive. The Flood magazine likens Arny to Aldous Harding and José González, and writes about her EP: “It emits the kind of warmth that welcomes vulnerability, like friends around a winter fire unlocking secrets and fears never spoken before.”

From an early age, Arny played the piano in the hometown of ÍsafAjörður until she was given a guitar at the age of fourteen and with it she slowly reached the confidence to write her own music. Her music and lyrics paint beautiful and yet painful images inspired by her personal experiences and surroundings. It describes how it is to live in an isolated place, surrounded by tall mountains that block the sun for a few months every year. Her indie folk has its own specific sound, but she draws influence from the likes of Adrianne Lenker, Aldous Harding, and Ásgeir. She is currently finishing her debut album in the well-known Icelandic studio Hljóðriti and will show her undoubted talent to visitors of Pohoda 2022 in just one month.
