==History== Hjaltalín was formed in Reykjavík, Iceland, in 2004. Between January and October 2007, they recorded their first album, Sleepdrunk Seasons, in Reykjavík and Amsterdam. It was released on the Icelandic label Kimi Records first, and a European release followed in 2009. The band had a major hit with a cover of Paul Oscar's "Þú komst við hjartað í mér" in 2008, which proved to be the most popular song in Iceland that year. Hjaltalín's second album, Terminal, won an award at the 2010 Icelandic Music Awards. They have since issued two more studio albums: 2014's Enter 4 and the self-titled Hjaltalín in 2020. They have also published a soundtrack to the film Days of Gray (2014) and a live recording with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Alpanon, in 2010.
