ADHD released their ninth album in October 2024 and will follow up with concert tours both in Iceland and abroad in the coming year. The band will also appear at music festivals on the continent and is especially excited to perform at Reykjavík Jazz Festival.

The ninth album is being released by the German record label Enja/Yellowbird — marking the first time an international label has released their music. The album will also be featured in jazz magazines and media across German-speaking countries. It was recorded at Castle Studios in Dresden in October 2023.

ADHD has been active since 2007, when the band first came together to perform at the Hammond Festival in Höfn, Hornafjörður.
Their debut album was released in 2009 and introduced with a performance at Reykjavík Jazz Festival in Hafnarhús.

The band members are:

• Magnús Trygvason Elíassen on drums

• Ómar Guðjónsson on guitar, pedal steel, and bass

• Óskar Guðjónsson on saxophones

• Tómas Jónsson on piano, Hammond organ, and various other instruments

ADHD has been nominated for the Icelandic Music Awards for most of their albums and has won the award six times.

Next year, the band will begin work on their tenth album. They’ll be fresh out of recording sessions when Reykjavík Jazz Festival takes place, so they’re likely to premiere new material at the festival.
