Montenegro (EP) by Andervel
Extending his musical language from the fragility that hallmarked his first EP Noche (2020), Andervel’s second EP Montenegro proposes a full-bodied wist. Whispers flutter around Andervel’s gentle vocals as he sings of the intimacies and support fostered in small-town living. It’s the kind of 2024 bravado only sure-footed singer-songwriter can muster: lyrics that tout communality and care.
Montenegro is a journey that visits different scenes inspired by the childhood experiences of its author. Inspired by a semi-fictional narrative that takes place in the grandparents' house, Andervel's native village.
The album reflects on the concept of family as one of the first instances in which human beings learn to relate to each other, Andervel’s maturation in the Icelandic scene and the idea of home.
