简介
When time came around for the second album, Hjörvar decided to skip the alias and use his own name. He also decided to go the full mile, booked a recording session in PUK Studios, Denmark, and spent seven crazy days in spring 2006 recording with some of Iceland’s most acclaimed rock session artists. The outcome, A Copy of Me, was released in December 2008, after being mixed by acclaimed producer Ken Thomas, well known and respected in Iceland for his longtime co-operation with Sigur Rós. This time the media coverage was also higly positive: “Hjörvar’s strength lies is strong songwriting and great singing, and the sound-scape on A Copy of Me has also been worked very well thought out. The album has a strong coherance, without being monotone, since all the songs have their individual character. […] All in all, this is a great album from an artist that tracks his own paths and really doesn’t care at all if his music is fitting to the contemporary mainstream or not.” Trausti Júlíusson – Fréttablaðið newspaper, January 2009 “A Copy of Me is a very notable album [...] under obvious influence from David Bowie. Great songwriting, full of strange chords [...] Hjörvar’s voice is very vibrant and significant, deep and lazy, not neccesserily always hitting the right tones, but remarkably nice and personal. [...] A Copy of Me is a quality piece of work, from any point of view.” Birgir Örn Steinarsson – Morgunblaðið newspaper, January 2009 A Copy of Me was released by Hjörvar’s own label, Los ehf. New album by Hjörvar will come out early in 2014 by the Icelandic label Synthadelia Records
