The band plays funky, gritty, groovy, and occasionally delicate tunes

According to the dictionary, to "sit on a piparstertur" is akin to sitting on needles, or as it says: "on edge and restless."

But Piparstertur is also the name of a young jazz fusion quintet, featuring Jákup Tórgarð, Djóni Fischer, Fríði Bjarkhamar, Benjamin Djurhuus, and Justin James Villanueva.

The band plays funky, gritty, groovy, and occasionally delicate tunes that pull listeners to the edge of their seats. They are unassuming, yet skilled at uncovering beauty in the lesser-played notes.

With a sound as rich as sticky rice cakes and compositions as melodious as the murmur of seabirds, Piparstertur crafts unexpected soundscapes—ones you’d never think you couldn’t live without hearing.

Jákup Tórgarð: Piano
Benjamin Djurhuus: Guitar
