"We here at Revolver HQ are big fans of Kælan Mikla's chilly, primal post-punk, and we're not alone. Count among their champions the one and only Robert Smith, who handpicked the Icelandic trio to play the Cure's 40th anniversary show in 2018. It's as meaningful an endorsement as any trio of young goths could ever hope to win. Kælan Mikla's latest album is Undir Köldum Norðurljósum, and in addition to the group's signature mix of ethereal native-tongue vocals, blood-curdling screams, propulsive bass and mechanized drums, the LP also features a stirring guest appearance from like-minded blackgaze outfit Alcest."
–Revolver
"Dark, brooding, and eerily catchy."
–BrooklynVegan
"Haunting and melancholic."
–Post-Punk.com
"Profound darkness and elegance... Kælan Mikla's vision at its most expanded and audacious."
–Destroy//Exist
"Lush and cinematic material... pulling the listener into their unique world full of folklore, fairytales, magic, spells and mysticism."
–Joy of Violent Movement
"Undir Köldum Norðumljósum builds upon the 2018's Nótt eftir nótt in grandiose form... It's at times soothing and at times infectious... Narrating folk tales of magic and mysticism in their native tongue."
–Heaviest of Art
