Musician Sóley Stefánsdóttir gives a lecture about her music on Friday, April 6th from 12:45pm - 2:30pm.  The lecture will take place in Skipholt 31, everybody is welcome and free admission.

Born in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, Sóley has attracted a huge following with her fairytale song craft over the last years. After the EP Theater Island (2010) announced her as a solo musician, the fantastical, sepia-toned alt-pop tunes of debut full-length We Sink (2011) already won her a massive, devoted fanbase: Often praised for her delicate take on composition, her songs’ “dream-like” qualities and “dark surrealism”.

Having studied piano and later composition at the Iceland University of the Arts, Sóley Stefánsdóttir, who was formerly a member of the band Seabear, released another EP entitled Krómantík in 2014, comprised of piano works and returned to even darker, nocturnal themes with sophomore album Ask The Deep, which came out in early 2015.

Her third album Endless Summer came out in May 2017 and the album Team Dreams came out by the end of the year 2017 where Sóley collaborated with Sin Fang & Örvar Smárason (múm) as they released a new song on a monthly basis throughout 2017. A new album is in progress where Sóley is experimenting with new sounds and compositions like accordion drone, theremin and mellotron.
