Mjötviður Til Fóta
''Mjötviður til Fóta'' was an album released in 2001 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the creation of Þeyr, one of Iceland’s most important bands of the early eighties. ''Mjötviður til Fóta'' contains songs recovered from the album ''Mjötviður Mær'' and the single ''Iður til Fóta'', two records released in 1981. The material was originally recorded in 1981 at Studio Hljóðriti and it was digitized and mastered on October 25, 2001 at Stafræna Hljóðupptökufélaginu when guitarist and scientist Guðlaugur Kristinn Óttarsson took helm in the hot and cold thermal curating process where only analog thermometers were used. Þeyr never reissued the other records, since the masters are believed to be lost and thus, the only recorded material of the band currently available is this release, as well as some other Icelandic compilations where few of their tracks are featured.

Þeyr
Þeyr () was an Icelandic New wave music, new wave band from the early 1980s. Origins The origins of Þeyr date back to the late 1970s when singer Magnús Guðmundsson, bassist Hilmar Örn Agnarsson and Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson (drums and synthesizer) were playing in a garage band called Fellibylur (Hurricane). The band was expanded with vocalist Elín Reynisdóttir, who at the time was singing at a church choir, guitarist Jóhannes Helgason from a rock band called Piccolo, and drummer Sigtryggur Baldursson from Hattimas. They called themselves Frostrósir (Frostroses) and played rock music and some Icelandic songs at dancehalls in Reykjavík and its surroundings. After a while they decided to change the band's name and came up with ''Þeyr'', which was drawn from a poem by Skuggi and it means ''Wind'' or ''Thaw'' in old Icelandic. Þeyr is exactly pronounced as ''þeir'', which means ''they'' (male gender). History First release and internal changes By 1979, they introduced two o ...

The feminine version is Roberta. The Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish form is Roberto.
