Icelandic post-punk band GRÓA announced the reissues of their two acclaimed albums, their 2019 sophomore album Í Glimmerheimi and its 2021 follow up, What I like to do via the US label, FOUND. For the first time ever, the LPs will be available on vinyl and CD on February 16, with a special bonus track available only on physical platforms.
Alongside the announcement, GRÓA shared a new video for the mesmerizingly dynamic track “What I like to do.” Distorted editing of the video warps the faces of GRÓA and friends as they trapeze through topsy-turvies landscapes, complementing the ominous.
“The making of the “What I Like To Do” video was an incredibly fun process. The video is filmed in a beautiful place dear to us in the countryside and inside a waterslide in a swimming pool in Iceland. The song is about finding enjoyment in the small things like going up a hill just so you can run down it super fast, and that’s what we did with a group of friends. The video is edited by Sean Patrick O’Brian and directed by GRÓA and Sean.”
“Rereleasing Í Glimmerheimi (2019) and What I like to do (2021) is very exciting for us and to finally have both of them on vinyl is a dream. We care a lot for these albums and giving them a physical form is important to us. Making our little album babies see the whole world, and let them be able to play music for the human race through speakers is true love.”
