At the end of the first song, it cracks me up when he says "thank you" and I mean it in a kind way! I think it's great cause it sounds so genuine with the fusion of his accent
Hjalmar is one of my favorite bands! Discovered them thru their documentary making an album in Jamaica... I have no idea what they are saying but it really is beautiful music.
@smellycat389 The "á" corresponds to the English sound "ow" as in "how", and all "j"s in Icelandic are pronounced as the "y" at the front of the English "yes". The band's name is therefore pronounced roughly "hyowlmar", with the emphasis on the first syllable.
