GRÓA reissue their studio albums, Í Glimmerheimi and What I like to do

For the first time ever, the 2019 sophomore album Í Glimmerheimi and its 2021 follow up, What I like to do, will be available on vinyl and CD, with a special bonus track available only on physical platforms. Alongside the announcement, GRÓA shared a new video for the track, "What I like to do."

“The track is about finding enjoyment in the small things, like going up a hill just so you can run down it super fast,” the band says. In the music video, the band does just that as they gather their group of friends and trapeze through deserted fields.

Their secod album, Í Glimmerheimi, focuses on themes of curiosity and growing up, with the creation process emphasized by the group’s connection through deep talks about life, playfulness, and the realization of society’s “box”...and how to break out of it. “The album is about growing up in a world and getting to know it in a different way than you used to. Seeing and hearing things in a new way. Getting to know your own voice.” The band expands, “The album was written when we were 16 and 17 years old. A lot of the songs are sung from third person narrative, like a story, making a brand new fantasy-based world out of moments and thoughts in our real worlds.”

GRÓA took these themes further on their following album – 2021’s What I like to do. “Our live shows had started to get more aggressive with time and that was opening us up a bit,” the band says. “We had a longing to do our next album heavier – keep it raw and filterless. The phrase ‘nothing is wrong in the creative process’ was at the top of our minds this time. This state of mind really had its impact on the album. It was all about satisfying ourselves by making music,” the band explains.
