Draumir is a Norwegian band playing a form of dark and melodic rock music.

The word draumir does not exist in any official language, but it bears resemblance to the Icelandic draumur, meaning dreams.

• Jo Inge Johansen Frøytlog – Vocal, keys, guitar
• Alexandra Bråten – Vocal, organ, moog synthesizer, scissors, melodica.

The core of the band is songwriter Frøytlog, who has been involved with music since growing up in Flekkefjord on the southern coast of Norway. Since then, he has gradually changed the line-up, while also moving twice, to Bergen in 2000 and to Oslo in 2002. The band has changed names three times, most recently in 2004 from “Mir” into today's “Draumir”.

In 2006, Draumir was nominated in the Norwegian music awards Spellemannprisen as the debut of the year, without winning. In February of that year, Draumir played at the by:Larm-festival in Tromsø. Again the band was well-received, and the concert led to a record contract with Universal Music Norway. During the following months, Draumir's second album, The Island, was composed, and was recorded between September and October 2006. It was released on March 26, 2007.

A new album is expected in 2024.
