Description
Eivør Pálsdóttir is an artist perfectly attuned to the savage vicissitudes of nature. Born & raised in Syðrugøta, a tiny community on one of the northerly Faroe Islands, Eivør grew up surrounded by the windswept landscape of the North Atlantic, a backdrop that has deeply influenced the elemental electronica she creates. Songs such as Tides & Fog Banks have tied themes like love and growing old to the primitive environment of her youth; she wrote Into The Mist about getting lost as a child on a local mountain, Støðlafjall. Forthcoming record, Segl – Eivørs ninth, since releasing her debut at just 17 – builds on these motifs, exploring the journeys we undertake, both metaphorically and physically. The title meaning sail in Faroese alludes to our desire for growth and direction, and the role of fate. You have to hoist your own sail, notes Eivør; but you cannot control the wind. Segl explores the navigation between the soft and rough edges of life – the balance that must be struck between strength and vulnerability, dark and light. How will you find calm in the chaos?
