Svavar Knutur New Track Released – November

Svavar Knutur is an artist based in Reykjavík, Iceland. He is a Singer-Songwriter and has released a new single from his upcoming album, Ahoy! Side B, named “November”.

The song goes live on all streaming platforms on November 19. In perfect accordance with Svavar Knútur’s style, the song is a genre-bending trip from a melancholic melding of guitar, string trio and the Icelandic troubadour’s cloud covered driftwood voice to a stormy frolicking autumn wind ending.

A love song to a month much-maligned, “November” conjures a portrait of a dark and melancholic but also stormy and transformative month. The longing for summers past, but also the inescapable trajectory into the strange beauty of midwinter, ending with the embracing of the turning wheel of time.

Svavar Knútur is currently finishing the recording of Ahoy! Side B, thereby completing a double album project called Ahoy! that started in 2017 with Ahoy! Side A. The album is a journey of gratitude and exploration, the discovery of new perspectives and hidden truths.

Extensive touring is planned for 2022 and 2023. But in these covid times, the Icelandic word for “plan” might be more useful. The word is “Áætlun” which means roughly: Intention.

Svavar Knútur was a participant in the international music initiative Global Music Match in 2020, where he collaborated with some awesome international artists such as Lucy Ward (UK), Adyn Townes (Canada), Breabach (UK), and Fanny Lumsden (Australia).

He regularly tours both Europe and North America, and plans are now being laid for his third Australian tour. It feels weird for an obscure DIY artist from a desolate rock in the middle of the North Atlantic to send a press release about a new song, as if it were a world event that carried any significance in the greater scheme of things. But we have been assured by wiser people than ourselves that this is the way. But, If this song can help even one human being listening to it to embrace the hidden beauty of “November”, then the world will be a better place.

Svavar Knutur works best on Indie folk, Singer songwriter Authentic, Curious, Dark, Eclectic, Unique, Indie, Lo-fi, Meaningful lyrics, Melancholic, Melodic, Midtempo, Positive, & Simple.

Available on Spotify, Composer, On stage experience, International potential, Strong social media presence, & Unsigned artist.

Lana Crow

“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.

“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.

Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”

It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

BluntBrad Jr.

BluntBrad Jr.’s new single, “It’s All Good,” sounds like a steady handshake and a deep breath. It’s warm, honest, and not trying to be cool. There isn’t any fancy production hiding behind layers of polish here. Instead, the song is all about being honest. The song is laid-back and offers up the shine of a studio recording for the feeling of a candid introduction, a musical “hello” from someone who wants to be heard for who they are.

“It’s All Good” is a very human way to be hopeful at its core. The feeling is simple and real, like someone who won’t let little things stand in the way of their goals. The words to the song sound like friends talking to each other. They discuss their goals, their drive, and their need for attention in a way that is honest and not needy.

The production backs this up by making sure that everything is open and airy. The instruments are simple and easy to understand, so BluntBrad Jr.’s voice and message come through clearly. The song feels real because it doesn’t have a lot of extra stuff in it. You’re not hearing a heavily constructed persona; you’re hearing someone at the start of a journey, eager to make their mark.

The song’s rough edges make it captivating, which is better than polish, which would have smoothed it out. This way of thinking fits with the theme: hope isn’t naive here; it’s realistic and steady. It speaks to people who like simple songs and value honesty over artifice.
