Biography

​​​Draumir is a Norwegian band whose music is often described as refreshingly detached from current musical trends. The band consists of Alexandra Bråten (vocals) and Jo Frøytlog (vocals/guitars/keys). Draumir’s sound is dreamy, frequently characterized by a cinematic quality that explores the more experimental and atmospheric aspects of the folk and indie genres.


Throughout 2024, the band has released several singles that have garnered rave reviews in the national press and on international music blogs. In October, Draumir will enter the studio to complete their third album, scheduled for release in November 2024. The album will be mixed by longtime collaborator Phill Brown (Talk Talk).


The band has a history spanning over twenty years. Their debut album, Draumir (Playground Music), was released in 2005, followed by The Island (Universal Music) two years later. Both albums, produced by Chris Eckman (The Walkabouts), were well-received. Notably, Draumir’s debut album was nominated for “Newcomer of the Year” at the Spellemann Awards (Norwegian Grammy Awards). During this early period, the band also gained recognition through numerous concerts and festival appearances across Norway.
