Icelandic post-punk group Groa have announced the reissue of two of their albums, the 2019 sophomore album Í Glimmerheimi and its 2021 follow up, What I like to do arriving via the US label, FOUND. The remastered albums will be available on vinyl and CD for the first time ever on February 16 2024, with a special bonus track available only on physical platforms.

Alongside the announcement, the band have revealed a new music video for the track “What I like to do,” featured on the album of the same name.

The band says:

The track is about finding enjoyment in the small things, like going up a hill just so you can run down it super fast.

In the music video, the band does just that with a group of friends while the footage distorts them around the landscape.

The Reykjavík-born band consists of sisters Karólína Einars Maríudóttir aka Karó (lead vocals, guitar, keys), and Hrafnhildur Einars Maríudóttir, aka Hrabba (drums, vocals), as well as Fríða Björg Pétursdóttir (bass, vocals), and Marta Ákadóttir (saxophone, percussion, recorder).

The band blends aspects of Post-Punk, Noise-Rock, and Art-Pop.

They comment:

Our sound is our way to keep rock music interesting for ourselves, test every idea, keep our minds open, creative, unrestricted, our sound is a tiny little world with no rules.
