The Kraumur Music Award was awarded for the seventeenth time last night for the Icelandic records that stand out in terms of quality, ambition and originality.
The Kraumur Music Award is an annual album award that has been awarded since 2008. It is intended to promote and support the release of albums by Icelandic artists and bands. The awards are not tied to a specific music genre and there are no subcategories. A total of over 90 artists and bands have now received the Kraumur Music Awards for their albums, most of them early in their careers.
This year it’s Amor Vincit Omnia, Iðunn Einars, sideproject, Sigrún, Sunna Margrét and Supersport! who receive the Kraumur Music Award for their albums, which are considered to excel in terms of quality, ambition and originality.
