“A swooping, intense experience, it's immaculately pieced together.”

“Songs that immediately evoke a full-body chill in the first few opening bars.”

“In good times and bad, they will fill our hearts with light, hope, and warmth.”

“Their fluid transitions between dense scores and sparse respites showcase masterful dynamics throughout.”

“This is easily one of the collaborations of the year for me,
it’s a track that will have you lost

Bio

Firewoodisland are Bristol based Norwegian/Welsh duo, Stian Vedøy and Abi Eleri. Live, they deliver dynamic vocal harmonies and create an anthemic, cinematic sound that according to Wonderland Magazine, "immediately evokes a full-body chill in the first few opening bars." Labelling their sound ‘mountain pop’ they combine the catchiness of pop with the sensibilities of indie, sprinkled with some organic elements from folk.

Hailing from a windswept west coast island of Norway, Stian met Abi after moving to Cardiff to study for a master in music production. Abi was at the time studying illustration, and the two paired up to form the band. Their self titled 2nd album (2020) was a turning point for Firewoodisland, as the duo finally felt at home creatively. With all audio and visuals being created in their own home in Bristol, you encounter a little piece of their soul when you experience Firewoodisland’s work.
