Amiina (formerly Amína, stylized in lowercase) is an Icelandic band composed of members Maria Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir, and Sólrún Sumarliðadóttir, Magnús Trygvason Eliassen and Guðmundur Vignir Karlsson.

The collaboration has continued ever since, with amiina contributing strings to Sigur Rós' music on tour and in the recording studio notably on the award-winning album ( ) as well as its follow-up, Takk....,[2][3] and Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust.

In the autumn of 2007, drummer Magnús Trygvason Eliassen (born November 18, 1985) joined amiina on tour, adding percussion to the band's textures.

A few months later, collaboration between amiina and the electronic artist Guðmundur Vignir Karlsson (born November 10, 1978) under the moniker Kippi Kaninus was initiated while preparing a show for the Reykjavík Arts Festival.

The merging of Kippi Kaninus' electronics and rhythms with amiina's sounds and Magnús' percussion became the starting point for more established collaboration between the six musicians.

The recording of amiina's second studio album Puzzle started during spring or summer of 2010,[4][5] released by the band on September 27, 2010, getting worldwide distribution the following year.

In 2009 amiina started to perform their original soundtracks to pioneering German filmmaker Lotte Reiniger's 1930s silhouette animations of the timeless fairy tales Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Aladdin.

In between work with amiina the band members have kept themselves busy, recording or touring with other artists such as: Sigur Rós, Yann Tiersen, Spiritualized, Efterklang, Yukihiro Takahasi, Canon Blue, Pétur Ben, Ben Frost, Tilbury, Borko, múm, Jónsi & Alex, Kippi Kaninus, ADHD, Moses Hightower, Sin Fang, and Zoon van snooK.
