Love Me Some Quiet Folk From Axel Flóvent

While I’m always a sucker for music on the folksier side of things, often I’m not easily impressed by all kinds of this music. Rather, I wait for those tracks that really knock me off my feet, and “Forest Fires” is one of those. Axel Flóvent is an Icelandic gentleman who is putting out a new EP on May 25th that shares the same title of this track from it. Once you listen to this song you’ll know that you’ll have to pick that up; this track ebbs and flows naturally but with a force behind the acoustic guitar and entrancing vocals that push the boundaries of what you expected from a folk song.
