ADHD

“I have been following ADHD for years and I have played along with many of the recordings of saxophonist Óskar Guðjónsson, to try to discover how to get such a beautiful sound out of the tenor sax.” - Programmator Adia Al since 2007, the Icelandic quartet ADHD has been creating breathtaking soundscapes that breathe the untamed spirit of their homeland. Their music is a cinematic trip full of mystery, driven by a raw, elemental power that can come from nothing into a compelling musical eruption. On their acclaimed album 9 (2024), top-tier musicians Tómas Jónsson, Ómar and Óskar Guðjónsson, and Magnús Trygvason Eliassen sound more orchestral and melodic than ever. The band immerses you in hypnotic, electro-acoustic layers: a driving synth bass, vast electric and pedal steel guitars, a lyrical saxophone, pulsating drums, and of course that delicious, warm Hammond organ. Live, ADHD maneuvers masterfully between whisper-quiet introspection and pure energy. It is infectious, compelling music that keeps you as a listener hungry for more. And that comes in handy: this concert is the perfect prelude to the release of their brand-new, tenth album in October 2026. More info about our jazz club Nova Express can be found here.
