“If you’re looking for some extra groove in your life, young Icelandic singer-songwriter Júníus Meyvant needs to be added to your playlist ASAP. Unnar Gísli Sigurmundsson, who plays under the Júníus Meyvant moniker, creates songs that get your body moving. Maybe it’s his voice, or the brass accompaniment that makes these songs epic, but for someone who was kicked out of music school it sure makes you wonder what you’re doing with your life. Although he released his LP Floating Harmonies back in July, this is definitely an album to check out now. The songs work perfectly with the changing weather, whether it be the leaves dropping, rainfall or just basking in the sun of mild temperatures while you cling to your pumpkin spice latte. If there’s one thing for sure, his voice will bring the warmth to your day.

Júníus Meyvant. Live in Berlin. February 2017.
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.
