With their soaring guitar solos elaborate grooves, delicate chord movements and intense build-ups combined with ethereal harmonies, Icelandic Psychedelic Prog Rockers LUCY IN BLUE have been taking their countrymen by storm. And, as of the 12th April, a wider audience will get to hear these stunning young musicians, because that’s when Karisma Records will release In Flight, the band’s sophomore full-length album. In the meantime, the label has released a second single from the album, allowing fans a taste of what’s to come.

In Flight, an album that deals both with the whole spectrum of human emotions as well as more political themes, will be available in in CD, Digital and Limited Edition transparent turquoise vinyl formats.
In other news, On the 14th April, LUCY IN BLUE’s Arnaldur Ingi Jónsson on Keyboards and vocals, Kolbeinn Þórsson on Drums, Matthías Hlífar Mogensen on Bass and vocals, and Steinþór Bjarni Gíslason on guitar will be live on stage for the band’s appearance at the Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Netherlands.
The Icelandic rock/metal scene has been thriving the past years, but we haven’t seen too many psychedelic and progressive rock bands yet. So, let us introduce Lucy In Blue, a young quartet who really has made a great northern sounding blend inspired by the early work of Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Camel and the great psychedelic and progressive masters of the late 60’s/early 70’s.
Formed in 2013, Lucy In Blue released their self-titled debut album via Bandcamp in 2016, and, since then, the band’s young lineup of Arnaldur Ingi Jonsson on keyboards and vocals, Kolbeinn Þorsson on drums, Matthias Hlifar Mogensen on bass and vocals, and Steinþor Bjarni Gislason on guitar and vocals have been stunning crowds in their native Iceland with their soaring guitar solos and intense build-ups that take the listener for a ride through the psychedelic soundscapes and the progressive song writing styles of the 1970’s.
Lucy In Blue has a unique take on early psychedelic prog rock, and it’s a pleasure to invite you to go In Flight with them.
Lucy In Blue will play a release show at the Roadburn Festival 2019.
