About

Label: FALK, Synthadelia Records

Manager: Aðalsteinn Jörundsson

Bio: The music of AMFJ is neither glacial nor mountainous. It was not written under a glacier, but it could bring to mind how it is to be stuck under one – between narrow mountains, creeping snowstorms, murky waters, incomprehensible interest rates and wage-slavery. It is the searing pain in the eye o... See Full Bio

Press

“There’s a point where art-music becomes almost transcendentally self-indulgent and that is the point at which it also becomes magnificent. Amidst the rolling, repeated bass-bumps of Klasar, AMFJ reaches this point as the lead voice, covered in huge reverse reverb, bounces off the bleeps and fracturing beatscape to create an effect somewhat akin to, sorry, dropping a double-dip strawberry and hiding underneath a tube station platform listening to the announcements. The monstrously ascending amplitudes and filtered stumps of sonics become heartbeats, the vocals a Rotterdam-gabba-esque harangue. Sometimes music can be a beautiful nightmare and this unsettling doomy harbinger of an album is still preferable to listening to the output of any number of Billy Ray Cyrus’ progeny. The choppy plainsong of Ég er Guð is a pop song in comparison to a dense, occasionally brilliant exercise in the reclamation of musical profanity.”

— Joe Shooman, The Reykjavík Grapevine

“Who are your favourite Icelandic acts these days? AMFJ by far. Aðalsteinn Moðerfökking Jörundsson. A heavily intoxicated grown man, screaming in agony for his mom through clouds of smoke and the most evil playback imaginable shoots a chill down your spine. With each set he plays he stabs a old rusty knife through the rotting heart of the krútt generation. His EP is awesome and you just got to love him. And buy him a beer.”

— Grapevine (an interview with Bárujárn), The Reykjavík Grapevine

“AMFJ (AKA: Aðalsteinn Mother Fucking Jörundsson) kicked off the night. He walked on stage with his computer, and without warning, he started. At first there was a mechanical sound, that lowered you to the bottom of a mine with a lift, and then a computer voice announced his name several times: Aðalsteinn Mother Fucking Jörundsson. This overlord of the sinister, dronish and noisy underworld produced something really disturbing, from industrial sounds and samples, to his furious shouting and (occasional) heavy electronic beats.This led to an odd contrast: the lovely theatre on the one hand, this wild guy yelling at you on the other, and an audience which just lets it happen. It was a strange situation as one would imagine something totally different from a concert. It was like an anti-concert, carefully set in a place of one-dimensional communication, a cinema.
