About Me

Æðra (I'th-ra):
æðri - adj comp
higher, more exalted (Icelandic)

My goal here is to simply write the best music I can and evolve as an artist. I'm not about flashy webpages, cliched fashion, silly stage names, or any form of pretentiousness. I think the music speaks for itself. If you like what you hear feel free to download the tracks I have up and share.

Æðra will see its first full length, professionally recorded album recorded in the winter of early 2010. Keep an eye out...

Æðra is inspired by (and is a response to) all the watered down, souless music that comes from the heartland of the US.
