Arny Margret never expected anyone to hear her songs. A homebody from a small fishing town in Iceland’s Westfjords, she was working in her family’s bakery when she serendipitously met producer Guðm. Kristinn Jónsson (Kiddi) in Reykjavík in 2021. They recorded 20 songs in two days, forming the foundation of her 2022 debut, they only talk about the weather – a tender, disarming introduction to her introspective indie folk. After touring globally with artists like Leif Vollebekk, Of Monsters and Men, Blake Mills, and Wilco, Margret traveled to the U.S. to record her second album, I Miss You, I Do, with producers including Brad Cook and Josh Kaufman. Pushing beyond her comfort zone, she embraced fuller arrangements and new collaborators, transforming homesickness and uncertainty into expansive, emotionally resonant songs. The album reflects growth – balancing melancholy with lightness – as Margret steps into a broader sound and a more self-assured artistic voice.
