Mammut’s unpredictable and uncategorisable shapeshifting sound is a very modern twist on psychedelia. Mammut is Icelandic for ‘mammoth’ – the name that singer Katrína Mogensen, “plucked out of the air,” when she joined guitarists Alexandra Baldursdottir and Arnar Petursson, bassist Asa Dýradóttir and drummer Andri Bjartur Jakobsson for their stage debut, aged just 14.
Katrína is the daughter of bassist Birgir Mogensen, a former bandmate of Bjork back when they were young post-punk adventurers; “We’re so close as a band, we have no limits for each other, no boundaries, we just follow our gut instincts,” says Katrína. It worked from the off; they quickly won the Musíktilraunir ‘battle of the bands’ and thereafter nominations and awards at the Icelandic Music Awards.
