ÁSGEIR

Following New Album

“A self-confessed loner, (Asgeir’s) set was melancholic, contemplative and eerily beautiful, focusing solely on his voice with his band only enhancing what was already there.”
Isolated Nation

“The musical asset that, more than any other, identifies Ásgeir’s work as uniquely his, is his inimitable voice.”
Music Feeds

“A wonderful atmosphere… with Ásgeir’s amazing falsetto vocals enveloping the crowd.”

ÁSGEIR ANNOUNCES AUSTRALIAN TOUR IN MAY 
FOLLOWING NEW ALBUM 
“BURY THE MOON” (OUT FEBRUARY 7)

.

Handsome Tours and Secret Sounds are elated to announce the return of beloved Icelandic singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and collaborator, Ásgeir, to Australia for select tour dates in May 2020. The tour will bring Ásgeir’s forthcoming third album “Bury The Moon” (out February 7th) to Australian audiences for the first time. Ásgeir shared two news tracks “Pictures” and “Until Daybreak” from “Bury The Moon”.

The enigmatic artist makes music that penetrates a little deeper than most. His debut album soared to success in his native land, before English language edition “In The Silence” connected with an entirely new audience. Here in Australia, it was spotlighted as triple j Feature Album and both the album and its lead single ‘King and Cross’ achieved gold ARIA accreditation.  That year, ‘King and Cross’ clocked in at number 10 in The Hottest 100. In 2017 “Afterglow” scored Ásgeir’s second triple j Feature Album and the station co-presented his sold-out July 2017 Splendour In The Grass sideshows. Ásgeir’s first Splendour sojourn in 2015 saw him return to Australia just two months after supporting alt-J on their national stadium tour and more recently, returning in 2018 for 3 very special recital hall shows in Sydney and Melbourne, displaying his innate ability to create a sense of intimacy in a room occupied by thousands.

An artist of rare scope, sincerity, and emotion, his next step, “Bury The Moon” might well be Ásgeir’s bravest, and his most enduring.
