Kría Brekkan (Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir) is a former member of the Icelandic band múm. In late 2006 she acknowledged that she had not been a part of múm since the beginning of that year, and she published an open letter briefly describing her thoughts on the matter. In the letter she explains that this delayed announcement was preceded by several failed attempts that ended “filling many pages of reasons and emotions.” She has appeared on records by Mice Parade and on Animal Collective’s album Feels, on which she is credited as “Doctess”. She also appears on the cover of Belle and Sebastian’s Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant LP with her twin sister, Gyða. She was married to Animal Collective’s Avey Tare until 2010. During the course of their marriage, the two released one album, Pullhair Rubeye.| |
