Eydís Evensen – Drifter
Today, Icelandic pianist and post-classical composer Eydís Evensen releases “Drfiter” from her third studio album Oceanic Mirror to be released October 10th on XXIM Records.
“Drifter” follows the previous single “Helena’s Sunrise.”
Turbulent and beyond prediction; serene and spiritually transformative – Oceanic Mirror captures the ocean in all its power, movement and contradictions to speak to truths which transcend language.
Listening to this album reawakens you what you knew all along; the things that the pace of our lives can lead us to forget. Loss, reincarnation, the cycles of life and nature: Evensen’s compositions share elemental lessons which we can bring on our own voyages across troubled waters.
Another powerful aspect of Oceanic Mirror is the inclusion of compelling artistic collaborators, whose contributions expand Evensen’s sound world in unexpected and resonant ways.
It follows on from her 2021 debut Bylur and its 2023 successor The Light – each an excavation of elemental truths told through nature. As an Icelandic artist, Evensen has spent her life awed and humbled by its lessons; her music teaches these to us without having to speak a word.
