The Icelandic and ethereal Sunna Fridjons guides us through her unapologetically written songs and textured cinematic pieces, all infused with fantasy and mystical realms filling your mind with otherworldly pictures. Sunna is never far from the risk of a new genre, and she is currently blurring the lines between pop, cinematic structures, with touches of metal while expanding and exploring new ways in instrumentation as she creates her third album. Her previous releases consist of earthy cinematic chamber pop songs and instrumental pieces, and somewhat of progressive rock in her second album, and always intertwined with textured cinematic instrumental pieces. With a broad range of influences in her teens from Emiliana Torrini, Tori Amos, Agnes Obel, Lykke Li, Sóley and more, Sunna has always stood out with her raw arrangements of strings, winds, and the piano she plays so effortlessly, accompanying her bare and powerful vocals. Having studied classical performance her whole life with a love of dreamy indie pop and cinematic music, and immersing herself into fantasy elements, Sunna finds a space where she creates wondrous worlds for her listeners to escape into.
