Firewoodisland are Bristol based Norwegian/Welsh songwriters Stian Vedøy and Abi Eleri. Known for their layered, emotive vocals, and a cinematic sound that perfectly balances organic with digital, they create an atmospheric sound-scape that is moving yet striking. Labelling their sound ‘mountain pop’ they combine the catchiness of pop with the sensibilities of indie, sprinkled with some organic elements from folk.

What started as a solo project quickly became the joint creative project of artists, multi-instrumentalists and songwriters Stian Vedøy and Abi Eleri. Hailing from a windswept west coast island of Norway, Stian met Abi after moving to Cardiff to study for a master in music production. Abi was at the time studying illustration, and the two paired up to form the band. Their latest sophomore album (2020) was a turning point for Firewoodisland, as the duo finally felt at home creatively. With all audio and visual being created in their own home, you encounter a little piece of their soul when you experience Firewoodisland’s work.
