Luscious folkpop

Júníus Meyvant is the stage name of singer-songwriter Unnar Gísli Sigurmundsson, who was born on Iceland's Westman Islands. When he was in his early twenties, Unnar found a battered guitar in his parents' house. By playing it, he gradually managed to tame his inner turmoil - the irrepressible urge to write music and the constant flow of ideas kept him awake forever and ever.

Júníus Meyvant's witty, concise, melodic and rich take on freaky folk-pop has a very familiar and soulful feel and a touch of attitude. His debut Floating Harmonies (2016) was followed by two more well-received records. Now it's time to look forward to his next step.

Support: Patches

Patches creates a wistful pop sound, balancing innocence and sensuality with a whispering melancholy. In her new album, Pickery Performance, Lotte Lauwers blends influences from Dido, Lana Del Rey, and PJ Harvey into a hazy soundscape that transforms personal crisis into hope.

With her writing partner, Jess Jacob, and guest Piffy, Patches seeks a more organic sound in which Lotte's voice shines.
