Check out Icelandic alt-pop artist Axel Flóvent’s latest track, “Don’t Wait For Summer.” This mid-tempo, dreamy song fits well on Spotify playlists like Dreamy Vibes, Late Night Vibes, or alternative mixes. Fans of Hollow Coves, Vance Joy, and The Head and The Heart will enjoy.

“I’ve always been a big fan of artists who evolve on each album. I don’t feel limited interms of what I can do. It’s important for me to be able to explore a variety of sounds to show differentsides of myself. I wanted to create an album I could perform with a band for a lot of people at afestival or you could listen to on headphones alone,” says Axel Flóvent

Born in the Northern fishing village of Húsavík, singer-songwriter and producer Axel Flóvent recorded his first EP ‘Forest Fires EP’. The songs were written under the influence of artists like Bon Iver and Bombay Bicycle Club, with the title track generating over 70 million streams. At 19, Axel moved to Amsterdam to engage with the Dutch music scene. He then moved to Brighton in the UK, where he recorded his EP ‘Youthful Hearts’. After this, he returned to Iceland, settling in Reykjavík. In 2021, Axel released his debut album ‘You Stay by the Sea’ with Nettwerk Records. In 2022, he released a collaboration EP and a deluxe version of his debut album, which included the single ‘Tomorrow Will Be Gone’. Axel is currently performing across Europe and writing new music in his studio in Iceland.
