In just two years, Westfjords's Between Mountains have become one of Iceland's fastest rising new groups -- mere weeks after Katla Vigdis and Asros Helga formed the band in 2017, they won the Icelandic battle of the bands competition Musiktilraunir at the ages of 16 and 14, and have since been recognized by Rolling Stone, KEXP, and the Northern Wave Film Festival. On November 1, Between Mountains released their debut album, which marked a transition for the band as Helga left the group to pursue other projects. Now, multi-instrumentalist Vigdis is carrying on Between Mountains' lush pop as a solo project.
