Úlfur Úlfur (Wolf Wolf) has been among the most influential acts in Iceland for a decade now. A small town rap duo turned big city popstars, Úlfur Úlfur has been grinding since 2011 in a country known for its musicians, performing non-stop everywhere where there’s a need for 808s and heartbreaks. Their catalog spans the whole spectrum but most of all it goes hard. The band has been ever evolving while polishing its core – going beyond the boundaries of traditional rap music and mixing different ideologies together to create something unique, distinctive and cool. Its members, Helgi Sæmundur and Arnar Freyr, childhood friends that have been making music together since their early teen years, do what comes to them naturally and it shows.
In October 2023 the band released its 4th album, Hamfarapopp. On it, the band is on familiar ground but the overall sound is definitely a bit brighter and more pop-esque. It’s lovely. Through the years the band has gained experience and muscles and even though these two party dudes have evolved to middle aged dads the wolf is still hungry.
