Hatari
Hatari, Iceland’s boyband and state-sponsored act.
Formed somewhere between the financial collapse and the dawn of TikTok, Hatari first hit international radar with a memorably Eurovision 2019 showing, then followed with the debut album Neyslutrans (2020) — a work described by critics as “apocalyptic techno-pop” and by the band as “a lighthearted exploration of humanity’s impending doom.” Their Eurovision appearance remains a high point in the ongoing marriage between irony and international entertainment bureaucracy.
Now entering their thirties — the age when most pop stars either sell out or disappear — Hatari have chosen a third path: standardizing the eternal search for meaning into a danceable format. The new era finds the band writing primarily in English, to remove the last barrier between their music and the endless algorithmic scroll. Sonically, Hatari has evolved into something sharper and disturbingly danceable — when industrial doom disco meets budget rave aesthetics meets motivational seminar meltdown.
The current lineup features producer/vocalist Klemens Hannigan (aka “The Popstar”), vocalist Davíð Þór Katrínarson (aka “Big D.”), and producer/drummer Einar Stef (aka “Almighty Gimp”) Together, they prepare for the new album and a European tour in February 2026.
