Dikta is an indie rock band from Iceland. In its present incarnation, the group began in 1999. They played in the Icelandic band competition Músíktilraunir in 2000 and were finalists.
Receiving critical and public acclaim, Dikta's first album, Andartak, was released in late 2002. One of its singles reached the top of the Icelandic charts. All three singles, "Taminóra," "Andartak," and "Engin orð," were played frequently on Iceland's largest rock station at the time, X-ið 977.
Dikta recently released their second album, Hunting for Happiness. Its second single, "Someone, Somewhere," is currently playing on Iceland's now largest rock station, X-FM, as well as X-ið 977 and the government owned Rás 2. The first single was "Chloë." The lyrics on Hunting for Happiness are all in English.
