ANCHR's Artist of the Day: Axel Flóvent

Just last month, I had the fortune of visiting Iceland for the first time and while I was there, I attended Iceland Airwaves festival. Set up much like SXSW festival in that it takes place at different venues around the city with some official and unofficial shows, Iceland Airwaves provides the perfect opportunity to discover new artists in the beautiful city of Reykjavík. One of my favorite new discoveries during my time at Airwaves was Icelandic musician Axel Flóvent. From the second I heard the harmonious layered vocals on his most popular song “Forest Fires,” I was mesmerized by Flóvent’s sound. “I Painted you a picture/Picture full of light,” he sings on “Forest Fires,” foreshadowing the picture he is able to paint for listeners with his lyrical storytelling.

If any producer or label has an issue with this song, please get in contact with us and we will delete it immediately.

On Flóvent’s latest single “Tourist,” released at the end of November, we’re greeted with distant, distorted guitars that will whisk you off into another world. The dynamic song features a built up chorus that keeps your lured in.

So far Flóvent has only released a couple of EPs and stand alone singles, but make sure you follow him for updates on new releases and potentially an LP in 2020. He will also be embarking on his first North American tour in 2020 opening for Radical Face, including a stop in Chicago at Thalia Hall.
