Eivør on Tour
Singer-songwriter Eivør Pálsdóttir, known simply as Eivør, hails from the Faroe Islands, midway between Iceland and Norway. Her haunting, otherworldly music almost seems as if it emanated from the breathtaking subarctic islands' craggy mountains and dramatic fjords themselves. Drawing on dark electronic pop, folk, jazz, and classical influences, she creates distinctly beautiful soundscapes that have garnered her fans around the world.
Eivør's top 10 tracks on Spotify have been streamed more than 34 million times combined and she recently received the prestigious Nordic Council Music Prize. This is no surprise given that she's been honing her craft for decades, drawing comparisons to such notable artists as Björk and Kate Bush. Eivør rewards listeners with her impressive vocal prowess, confident songwriting and otherworldly instrumentation. The prolific artist released her ninth full-length album, Segl, in 2020.
Fans of the BBC Netflix series, "The Last Kingdom," will recognize Eivør's ethereal vocals from the show's gorgeous theme song and soundtrack. Don't miss Eivør on her 2022 world tour, which includes many North American dates from the East to the West Coast and several points in between. The Eivør Tour visits the UK and Europe in the fall.
Eivør Live in Concert
Born and raised in Syðrugøta, a small village in the remote Faroe Islands, Eivør began her singing career at age 13 when she won a nationally televised singing competition. To refine her natural vocal skills, she moved to Reykjavík, Iceland, to work with a renowned vocal coach and later fronted rock and jazz bands Clickhaze and Yggdrasil, respectively.
Since branching out on her own, Eivør has grown into a confident, gifted vocalist and songwriter, appealing to a global audience. The prolific artist has released nine full-length studio albums and almost as many live records. What's more, in addition to providing vocals for "The Last Kingdom" soundtrack, her music has been used in the HBO fantasy series "Game of Thrones" and in popular video games "God of War" and "Metal Gear Survive," garnering her several new fans who had plenty of back catalog to explore.
The Faroese songstress performs in her native tongue and in English, and her sound incorporates elements of jazz and world music into her unique brand of dark electronic pop. Although she enjoys the structured process of studio recording, Eivør says that the magic happens live. She likens her live performance style to beatboxing, often improvising and singing what she feels, leaving the audience hanging on her every breath.
