Sóley
About:
Born in Hafnarfjörður Iceland, Sóley Stefánsdóttir has attracted a cult following with her fairytale song-craft. Sóley’s fantastical sepia-toned alt-pop tunes continued with the release of her debut full-length album We Sink in 2011. Receiving acclaim through her delicate compositions, soaked in dream-like qualities & dark surrealism, her song Pretty Face would go on to generate an enormous amount of buzz & legions of converts. Having studied piano & composition at the Icelandic Art Academy, Sóley released the EP Krómantík in 2014, comprised of piano works originally composed for various theater & film productions, & returned to even darker, nocturnal themes with sophomore album Ask The Deep, which came out in early 2015. Following its release, she once again toured the world & supported John Grant for his UK shows in early 2016. On releasing her third album Endless Summer in Summer 2017, she left the darkness of Ask The Deep behind & focussed on more organic acoustic arrangements. Endless Summer was written and recorded over the span of 12 months with long-time friend & collaborator Albert Finnbogason. 2017 through 2018 saw Sóley collaborate with Sin Fang & múm’s Örvar Smárason under the moniker Team Dreams & as of Fall 2018. Sóley recently finished recording her fourth solo album, scheduled for release in 2021. The album’s release will be supported & accompanied by an extensive run of European shows throughout 2021.
