Kría Brekkan


Kría Brekkan performin Revine in New York City

Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir (aka Kría Brekkan) is an Icelandic singer and multi-instrumentalist, best known as a former member of the band múm, but also as a member of Storsveit Nix Noltes and guest member of Slowblow. She has recently recorded and released material with Rings, featuring former members of First Nation.
In late 2006 she acknowledged that she had not been a part of múm since the beginning of that year, and she published an open letter briefly describing her thoughts on the matter. In the letter she explains that this delayed announcement was preceded by several failed attempts that ended "filling many pages of reasons and emotions."
She has appeared on records by Mice Parade and on Animal Collective's album Feels, on which she is credited as "Doctess". She appears on the cover of Belle and Sebastian's Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant LP with her twin sister, Gyða.
She currently lives with her husband David Portner, (Animal Collective's Avey Tare) in New York, and recently released an album with him.
