Yoda Remote was formed in the fall of 2008, when Bragi Marinósson and Emil Svavarsson met in school. That fall, both Bragi and Emil had a huge interest in electronic music. They had both been involved somehow in music for a long time, playing various instruments in various bands and solo projects. They had also both been writing music in their laptops for some time. After showing each other their music, they thought it was a great idea to form a band, and there was no turning back… Yoda Remote was born. When the guys decided to form an electronic band, they had no idea of where they were heading. In other words, they had no specific genre in mind, they just wanted to make electronic music. After writing a couple of songs that turned out to be really jolly and happy, with influences from 8-bit music and bands like Slagsmålsklubben, they decided that this was a great genre to proceed within. Lately they have been writing music from a wider selection of electronic genres but the jolly 8-bit influence is always present. The tragic story of the name is so sad and disturbing, that it will probably never be revealed. Just… don’t ask.
