Neyslutrans 2020
January 17, 2020 sees the release of the debut album by Hatari titled Neyslutrans. (Capitalist Google translates it as "Consumption of Trans, but it probably should be Trance").
It has 13 tracks including Hatrið Mun Sigra, early favorite Spillingardans and post Eurovision single Klefi/Samed with Bashar Murat.
On the digital version of Hatrið Mun Sigra is subtitled Xtended and it has a longer intro. I'm not sure if this is also the version on the physical releases.

The Remix Album

And, for us physicalist capitalists, there's a CD and LP release.
Available for 30 euros  (40 for the LP) (including 10,- postage) from the Hatari totally non capitalist Mechandise shop. Orders shipped from Febryary 4, also available at their upcoming tour.
(Svikamylla 2020) Full tracklist below.

Neyslutrans remixed 2021
On February 19 the band released a remixed version of the Neyslutrans album.
It includes a high paced electronic remix of Hatrið Mun Sigra by Vindimøde.
The (digital) album is available at Hatari's Bandcamp and other usual digital platforms

According to a Icelandic Music News interview participating (and winning) Söngvakeppninn is the "first step in renewed plan to bring down capitalism". Beginning with the Icelandic tourists industry. So now you know.

The band released their first EP Neysluvara (Consumer) in 2017 which includes fun titles like Tortímandi (Exterminator) and Biðröð Mistaka (Queue of mistakes)
In December 2018 they released a new single Spillingardans (Corruption dance).
They sing about popular issues like Death and Revolution in the capitalist society and Judgement day.
The band broke up after Spillingardans but re-united soon afterwards for Söngvakeppninn.
