Icelandic composer Inki (Ingibjörg Friðriksdóttir) has never been afraid to try new things, merging experimental electronic music and storytelling with her contemporary classical background.

Now Inki enters a new territory: Avant-Pop Music, with her new album Thoughts Mid Sentence. This is not to say she’s headed down an easy-listening bubblegum path, Inki still likes to get a little weird.

Expect a bass-heavy experimental production, uniting unexpected aural elements and concepts with Inki’s powerful vocals, warm presence, and brooding sound. Following this, her second single- Destructive Interference, was released on the 5th of May 2023.

Inki’s an award-winning composer, her compositions have been performed widely in the US and Europe. She has fused house beats with the oral history of a defunct prison, Brotabrot album, and Iceland’s WWII slut-shaming with compositions performed by contemporary female performers releasing it as an album and book work including augmented reality, Quite the Situation. Premiered as a multi-channel sound- and video installation at Reykjavik Arts Festival 2021.

Then there was the time she created her own chordophone instrument playing earthquake data which she promptly destroyed after its return from a tour to Denmark (Underground Composition). The remains still serve as fodder for the literal creative fire in her studio, Studio Bókó in Reykjavik.
