Einar Örn Benediktsson

Einar Örn Benediktsson (born 1962-10-29) is a popular music singer and trumpet player from Iceland who has worked with Björk and The Sugarcubes. In December 2003, Einar Örn released his first solo record called "Ghostigital", which in turn has now become his new musical project (Ghostigital).

Others, however, defending his contributions as an essential component of the group's free-spirited anarchic ethos.
