About Kaleo
The band emerged from Iceland's music scene with their first notable appearance at Iceland Airwaves in November 2012, quickly gaining traction through their single Vor í vaglaskógi. That track hit heavy rotation on RÚV's Rás 2, establishing them as serious contenders in their home country's music landscape. The five-piece lineup rounds out with drummer David Antonsson, bassist Daniel Kristjansson, lead guitarist Rubin Pollock, and harmonicist Þorleifur Gaukur Davíðsson, creating a full, layered sound that pushes beyond typical blues-rock formulas.
Their catalog reflects an artist willing to revisit and repackage their work for collectors. The Groove Hunter currently tracks 5 editions of their releases, including MIXED EMOTIONS, A/B, and the A/B 10th Anniversary reissue, plus limited runs like the Kaleo - All The Pretty Girls EP - Vinyl LP - RSD 2025, showing how their discography continues to circulate in both standard and special editions.
