Icelandic singer-songwriter Axel Flóvent is streaming the title track from his upcoming EP Forest Fires.
Wielding acoustic solemnity in the same was as Ásgeir, Flóvent simultaneously sends almighty shivers up your spine and melts any ice in your heart. It's a unique, bewitching blend of bitter and sweet, all backed by the fluttering acoustic drama and echoing trauma of intimate pop.
The Forest Fires EP is set to drop 25 May via Trellis Records.
