"Floating Harmonies" / Júníus Meyvant

Year: 2016

Country: 🇮🇸 (Iceland)

Genre: Indie Pop / Funk / Soul

An album that sounds like a sunny Sunday by the sea, "Floating Harmonies" is the perfect introduction to Júníus Meyvant: a warm blend of organic folk and vintage soul that invites you to move without losing your calm. Between soft winds, groovy guitars, and a voice that seems to smile as it sings, Meyvant creates an intimate yet luminous space, full of small everyday celebrations. There is nostalgia, but also a desire to move forward. It's music to look out the window and fall in love with the world all over again.

Laugh, love, dance, sing, joy - Miss went D to a concert of Júníus Meyvant and did all of that.

There is nothing more to add. Meyvant played a soulful set at Lido, Berlin, was funny as hell and the songs of his newest record “Floating Harmonies” are live even better, especially “Neon Experience” which Meyvant and his amazing band played at the end of their set. And he has some great beards in his band, too. The audience love it, I loved it. It was everything I needed in this cold season to feel some warmth. 

Yours sincerely,

Miss D

P.S. Here are some photos of the evening, more can be found on my flickr. Mostly in moody black and white, the least fitting layout for his music.
