Stafrænn Hákon now has a digital webshop on the brilliant icelandic GOGOYOKO site. On the site you can shop all Stafrænn Hákon albums in high quality mp3 format (320kbps cbr). Have a look at the site or check other great icelandic musicians over there.

A new digital webshop is being build at the moment so look out for a new one with all Stafrænn Hákon & related released material.

Stafrænn will head into studio in July to finish his new album. Again Stafrænn will work with his good friend/collaborator Daniel Lovegrove/ Dialect / Unstatuesque. It will hopefully be released in late 2009 if everything goes by plan.

Stafrænn Hákon has a new side project called STROFF with his friend Árni Þór from the great icelandic lo-fi band MUG... check it out

The collaboration between Stafrænn Hákon and Canadian musician Marie Jorge of Void..s Anatomy is out now on the superb Canadian label  CHAT BLANC  for only 9USD including postage from their website . 



From their website:

After the success of  his now sold out chat blanc ep in 2006,
Stafraenn Hakon is back with a collaborative work with quebec's artist Void's Anatomy for 3 nice tracks being a part of our Echange series.
While Olafur is taking care of most of the music, which is usual
extra melodic Stafrænn Hakon like, the sweet voice of Marie Jorge
a.k.a. Void's Anatomy brings the last touch to make it a perfect ep!!!!
Highly recommended!!
Coming in a light brown cardboard printed in 222 copies. 

Hello
currently working on new album which is slowly evolving into something more heavier than before , exciting.  So far some vocal collaboration with Minco Eggersman who sang "hausi" from the album "Gummi".  I am hoping to have this album released 2009 if everything goes by plan.

In the meantime check out the collaboration with my friend Larus which we call CALDER 
This album was released on Make Mine Music a in November 2008 and can be found here.

take care
