EIVØR Announces European Tour with Sylvaine





Eivør Touring Europe with Sylvaine Ahead of Their New Albums
2023 was a big year for EIVØR. Born and raised to a tiny island community, the electrifying Faroese singer-songwriter toured behind the soundtrack to the Netflix series The Last Kingdom, which she composed alongside Emmy winner John Lunn. But this year is going to be even bigger. Not only is she releasing a new album. She's touring all across Europe -- and she's bringing along her new label mate.

Since being nominated for a Norwegian Grammy for her last album, Nova, SYLVAINE has toured all across Europe and North America. The stirring Norwegian singer and multi-instrumentalist also has a special new release coming in 2024. Not only that, but she'll be embarking on her first-ever solo tour by serving as EIVØR's special guest for these 21 dates. 

"I am thrilled to announce a run of European shows for this coming October to celebrate the release of a new album!" says Eivør, who promises that more album details are coming soon.

"My band and I can't wait to start this new chapter with you and perform later this year. This tour will bring us to Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

"We are also super excited to have the incredible artist Sylvaine join us on all of these dates for her first-ever solo tour. Please check her out. She is amazing".


"I'm so very excited to be heading out on my first-ever solo tour supporting none other than the wonderfully talented Eivør!", Kathrine says. "I'm honored to be sharing the stage with her and her musicians, and can't wait to showcase my music in a different format. It will be an intimate, emotionally heavy ride. October can't come soon enough!

EIVØR is an artist perfectly attuned to the savage vicissitudes of nature. Born & raised in Syðrugøta (population: 453), a tiny community on one of the northerly Faroe Islands, the singer-songwriter grew up surrounded by a harsh, windswept landscape and the North Atlantic, a rugged backdrop that has, unsurprisingly, deeply influenced the music she creates.

With ten studio albums under her belt, as well as numerous collaborations with artists including Àsgeir, John Grant, Einar Selvik (Wardruna) and Dan Heath (Lana Del Ray) Eivør can be considered to be one of the most eclectic artists of the Nordics and one of the most mesmerizing live vocalists of her generation.

The winner of the 2021 Nordic Council Music prize and awarded twice with the Icelandic Music Price, multiple Danish Music Folk Awards, as well as the Faroese Music Award, Eivør is part of a new wave of Nordic artists rapidly building passionate international fan bases with music that honours their ancient cultural & musical folklore. At last count, Eivør's music has been streamed close to 1 billion times and she has been playing sell out tours in both Scandinavia, Europe and the US.

Eivør also soundtracks and features on all seasons of the flagship Netflix hit series The Last Kingdom (co-written with Ivor Novello/BAFTA-nominated John Lunn.)

The new official The Last Kingdom album Destiny Is All – written and produced by John Lunn, Eivør and Danny Saul, was released last year. Eivør also recently featured on the God of War Ragnarök score and on the soundtrack to the hit video game. She then performed at the 10-year Game Awards anniversary show at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Eivør signed with Season of Mist in 2023. Her first album on Season of Mist will be released this year.

Kathrine Shepard, the visionary artist behind the evocative musical project SYLVAINE, weaves an intricate tapestry of emotions through the language of music. A transcendental bridge between worlds, a mesmerizing duality that encapsulates the beautiful and the harsh, light and darkness, serenity and chaos, and the delicate balance between the external world and the inner sanctum of the soul. It is a symphony that harmonizes the human experience with its spiritual origins – a resonance of something beyond the tangible.

Sylvaine's compositions are a visceral journey through the vast spectrum of emotions that the complexities of the human experience have to offer. They encapsulate the inherent struggle of being an entity in this world, yet not entirely of it. Katherine's music serves as a conduit for her innermost feelings, a cathartic expression of the eternal longing that resides within the very core of her melodies.

Akin to a fairytale spun from the threads of Norwegian folklore, a narrative that resonates with the spirits of ancient woods and the whispers of long forgotten creatures. With every ethereal note and haunting melody, she conjures images of untamed forests, of misty clearings inhabited by mystical beings. In this artistry, there is an undeniable sense of transcendence, where listeners are transported beyond the confines of the ordinary into a dreamscape where reality and fantasy converge. A profound sense of wonder and allure creates a unique musical alchemy – with a touch of enchantment that lingers long after the music has ceased.

With four albums and one split-EP released to date, Sylvaine's ethereal soundscapes have been taken to stages across Europe, North America and South America, leaving audiences mesmerized by the transcendent power of the band's live performances. Two of these albums have been nominated for the Norwegian Grammy awards Spellemannprisen in the category of metal. The ability to transport listeners to otherworldly realm through her music is a manifestation of the artistry & profound impact the band can bring.

As Sylvaine prepares to unveil her upcoming EP, 'Eg Er Framand', she embarks on a deeply introspective and serene journey through the rich tapestry of Norwegian heritage and tradition. Folk tales of old are brought to life in this new chapter of her musical odyssey, offering a glimpse into the depths of her creative spirit and an exploration of the roots that anchor her artistry. A reflection of myths is embraced through exquisite sonic realms.

Sylvaine - Vocals & Guitar
