Back with her third solo album, Sóley’s new LP Endless Summer arrives worldwide on May 5th, 2017 via Morr Music. Written over the period of one year together with her long-time friend and collaborator Albert Finnbogason, the new full-length sees the acclaimed musician from Iceland explore the more optimistic, sun-drenched corners of her songwriting. Listen to the gorgeous new track “Never Cry Moon,” out today via YouTube.
Sóley’s latest offering is the warmth beneath the snow at the end of winter, the seeds waiting to grow as spring whispers to us. From the heavy organs, synths, and minor keys of her last album Ask The Deep, Endless Summer emerges with a kind of hopeful sweetness, and feels even more vulnerable, as Sóley climbs with us to incandescence. ” The idea for the album came pretty randomly one night in beginning of January 2016 when I woke up in the middle of the night and wrote a note to myself: ‘Write about hope and spring’,” she says about the LP’s general direction. “So I painted my studio in yellow and purple, bought a grand piano, sat down and started playing, singing and writing.”
