First two albums contain a delightful cocktail of dusty vinyl samples from his bottomless crates of rare records, mixed innovatively with weird synth melodies and scratched vocal samples.
Both albums 'Lausnin' & 'Sleepwork' can be downloaded for in full quality on his website www.hermigervill.is
The third and fourth album are instrumental cover albums of popular Icelandic (local) hits. His latest album 'I' is probably his most mature work to date and could be categorized as analogue sounding lo-fi electronic dance music.
Hermigervill has done remix work for many artists, including GusGus, Walter Meego, Quarashi, Worm is Green. He has also worked extensively with Retro Stefson.
