Info zu Dream On (EP)
Jófríður Ákadóttir aka JFDR unveiled earlier this year her stunning debut album “New Dreams“. Today the talented musician is sharing an updated version of the album’s closing track “Drifter“. The new version sees JFDR collaborate with her twin sister Ásthildur Ákadóttir and cellist Gyða Valtýsdóttir.
ófríður Ákadóttir AKA: JDFR has made 10 albums in the 10 years since she was 15. Among her career highlights, the artist’s debut album as JFDR was produced Shahzad Ismaily (Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Yoko Ono) produced album Brazil. Björk is said to be one of her many fans.
Recently, the Icelandic musician announced her latest solo musical offering; the Dream On EP, will arrive on November 27th 2020. The new release builds upon New Dreams, her LP released earlier this year via her own imprint White Sun Recording.
The seven songs on Dream On include three previously unreleased songs and sees her revisit songs from New Dreams. Known for her raw lyrics and haunting melodies JFDR takes you on an inward journey on her latest EP. Lead single Drifter is soulful and grounded and kept afloat by somber piano and strings, performed by two frequent collaborators – her twin sister Ásthildur Ákadóttir and lauded cellist Gyða Valtýsdóttir (Múm).
Says JFDR on Dream On: “New dreams came out as coronavirus burst and the world was changing dramatically. I was about to go on tour but wasn’t quite ready and so I was secretly relieved. Much later, I thought about all the things that didn’t happen and I decided to investigate that space – the result is the EP you’re about to hear, Dream On. It’s a study on new dreams, a way to indulge in it. A kind of alternative version you might hear live. Unheard ideas coming to life, and now I can close that chapter and move along to the next and the next and the next.”
The new version of “Drifter” is from the musicians forthcoming EP “Dream On“. The EP is a collection of previously unreleased songs and accompanied by new versions of four “New Dreams” tracks. JFDR’s debut album is an amazing body of work and closing track “Drifter” was an instant favourite on first listen. We are glad to see that she’s giving this song new attention. The new version is absolutely beautiful and lifts the song to even higher grounds. Together with the single release JFDR also unveils some stunning visuals directed by Emily Avila.
Jófríður Ákadóttir
JFDR
the latest project from Iceland's Jófríður Ákadóttir (Samaris, Pascal Pinon, Gangly), is a blend of cyclical guitar parts, soft minimal soundscapes, and poetic wonderings of a journey that ends where it began. Drawing from classical, folk, and electronic backgrounds, JFDR amalgamates the sounds of changing seasons, her voice a current that moves from rough seas to smooth waters. But perhaps JFDR shines the most in her capacity as a wordsmith, employing rich imagery to evoke the subtle emotions embedded in each song. Her first full length album, co-produced with legendary multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily, is set for release next year.
