New Single: Simon by FirewoodIsland
From the depths of the forests in Norway, comes Firewoodisland’s new single, ‘Simon.’
This track encapsulates the folkish nature of the band’s genre, which they describe as, “Celtic Viking music.” Pan flutes and wind chimes throughout the melody bring that exact traditional impression. The song embodies a lighthearted feeling that drifts in from the free-spirited vocals. Colourful melodies make their way through the track both on film and off.
Firewoodisland’s sound is reminiscent of Iceland’s Of Monsters and Men with a bit of MGMT’s vibe thrown in. Their style is majorly indie with a strong hippie cultural background. The band’s website advises to, “expect uplifting tunes, joyful skipping, mesmerizing stories, enchanting anthems and an exciting fusion of unusual instruments. Creativity and artistry are the campfire they dance around.”
From the melody alone, the feeling of being one with nature takes over the listener. The riffs and melodies are light and easy, allowing for a peaceful overall experience. The band’s creativity shines through with this original track. It encourages those listening to strip their headphones and run into the depths of the wilderness, following right behind.
