Mógil is half icelandic half belgian. They did a tour in small rustique Icelandic churches in the summer of 2006. September 2007 they gathered in another tiny icelandic church to record their debut album Ró. This album was released on the Antwerp based label 'Radical Duke' in september 2008.

Here are some quotes from reviews Ró has been getting:
"Music for a new Iceland, borderless genius"
MBL - Iceland

"I recommend Ró for listeners that are interested in looking beyond the horizon"
Folk Roddels – Belgium

"The best new release at the moment"
Humo – Belgium

"Music that touches the soul"
The silent ballet - NYC 8/10

"Zusammen spielte das Quartett eine verzaubernde Musik"
Christoph Giese, Reykjavík Jazz festival

"Ró klinkt warm en avontuurlijk"
De Morgen- Belgium 4/4
