For a Minor Reflection is a post-rock band from Reykjavík, Iceland. Their self-produced debut album Reistu þig við, sólin er komin á loft... (which translates as "Rise and shine, the sun is up") featuring six songs lasting an hour in total, all recorded over a weekend in Iceland. The record, as well as their energetic live shows, earned them a slew of accolades, including favourable comparisons to Explosions in the Sky. Their fellow Icelanders Sigur Rós even described them as “a band with the potential to out Mogwai” and invited them on a 15-date European tour with them in November 2008.

History

The band started as a hard rock duo in a garage in Reykjavík, Iceland. The band expanded to an indie rock trio, and later a blues quartet, before finally becoming post-rock instrumentalists.
