"Ýmsir leikarar" translates from Icelandic to English as "Various actors," indicating that the artist's name is a collective term rather than an individual identity. This ensemble of performers is known for bringing to life an eclectic array of characters and stories through their music, each release painting vivid tales and spanning different themes and genres. Each track title appears to represent a unique narrative or character, possibly drawn from a rich tapestry of literary, mythical, or dramatic sources.

One of their most recent releases, "Í ævintýraleik - Tumi Þumall, Jói og baunagrasið," suggests a whimsical adventure perhaps rooted in fairy tale tradition or children's literature, invoking enchanting imagery and playful tonalities. "Róbert bangsi," which translates to "Robert the teddy bear," could potentially continue this childlike wonder, bringing forth a simplicity and warmth that appeals to the innocent spirit. Lastly, "Sókrates - úr leikriti eftir Matthías Johannessen," points towards a more classical and philosophical theme, drawing inspiration from a play by the renowned Icelandic playwright Matthías Johannessen, engaging listeners in a more profound and thought-provoking experience. Such diversity in themes and styles elucidates the versatile talents of Ýmsir leikarar, whose oeuvre seems to embrace a multitude of narratives, emotions, and cultural influences.
