Discography highlights include five studio albums, led by the 2024 collaboration The Phantom Carriage with Bardi Jóhannsson, which provides the original score for the 1921 silent film. The 2021 Undir köldum norðurljósum, the 2018 Nótt eftir nótt (which earned the 2018 Kraumur Award), the self-titled Kælan Mikla (2016), and Mánadans (2014) showcase a journey from raw, intimate performances to expansive live presence. The band’s career has featured high-profile bookings such as Robert Smith’s Meltdown (London) in 2018 and an opening slot for Placebo at London’s Southbank Centre, with Roadburn as a pivotal milestone. Their 2019 Best Live Band award from The Reykjavik Grapevine cemented their status in Icelandic music history.
Looking ahead, Kaelan Mikla’s 2025 European tour will bring the full intensity of their live show to cities including Nantes, London, Glasgow, Prague, Berlin, Warsaw, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Cologne, Munich, Lausanne, and Paris, in a collaboration series with Perturbator and Gost. If you’re in the area, secure your seats early and join the crowd for a night of haunting soundscapes and electric energy.
