Halldór Laxness is an album released by the Icelandic musical group Mínus. It was recorded and mixed in Studio Sýrland, Iceland, by Ken Thomas and Curver in February and March 2003 except "Last leaf upon the tree", it was mixed at Tími and produced by Curver. Cover design by Sveinbjörn Pálsson, Art Direction by Börkur Sigþórsson, whose long-time collaboration with the band included most of their music videos. A rarer Icelandic version of the album was released earlier, with artwork by Börkur and Gunnar Vilhjálmsson. Singles from the album included 'Romantic Exorcism', 'Angel in Disguise', and 'The Long Face'. The Long Face was also featured on the UEFA Euro 2004 Video Game. The album's title came from the Icelandic author of the same name. This album marked the beginning of the band's departure from their heavier and noise rock oriented roots, by incorporating mainly clean vocals, as well as focusing on an overall more melodic and accessible sound and more conventional songwriting.
