Firewoodisland - Further Than My Fear (2024) [Hi-Res]

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

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

What started as a solo project is now the joint creative project of artists, multi-instrumentalists and songwriters Stian Vedøy and Abi Eleri. 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 latest sophomore album (2020) was a turning point for Firewoodisland, as the duo finally felt at home creatively. With all audio and visual being created in their own home in Bristol, UK, you encounter a little piece of their soul when you experience Firewoodisland's work.

Inspired by the likes of Bon Iver, Sigur Rós and RY X, Firewoodisland’s distinctive sound, ‘Mountain Pop’, is a perfect blend of organic and digital elements.

With support from Clash Mag, Wonderland, BBC 6 Music, Radio 2, Norway's NRK P3, as well as seeing music in TV series like Netflix Shadowhunter, Global TV's NURSES and several MTV shows, the duo is quickly building a name to watch. 2020 saw the releasing a delicate rendition of Alphaville's Forever Young under Warner Music UK, as seen on the Airbnb commercial.

Stian also makes neo classical music under the moniker, Selsom.
