YOUR SHOUT!

From avant-jazz and throat singing, to folk-infused trip hop: is Eivør Pálsdóttir prog or not? Over to you!

“Her music spans folk, jazz, electronic and rock and adds a bit of Kate Bush, so yes, it’s progressive for me with a mix of new and traditional sounds. The song Silvitni has it all.”

BRYAN7019

“She is incredible. Is what she does prog? Who cares, frankly. All I know is that her albums are amazing.” DAVE COOPER

“In as much as she takes elements of folk, pop, rock, and whatever else… she’s certainly progressive.”

GRAHAM TENNICK

“She’s amazing, especially live. Take a listen to Falling Free and tell me you don’t get shivers down your spine. That voice!”

MARK TIPLADY

“A great voice with similarities to Kate Bush. But hardly worthy of inclusion in Prog. Listening to Trøllabundin on her Slør album, I’d compare her to Mari Boine Persen.” BRIAN STANBROOK

“Who?” ALAN HYDE

“She’s an absolute must for me. Wonderful voice with the progressive writing that matches Kate Bush.”

JOHN POLSTON

“She’s super-amazing. I hope you’ll feature her!!! I’m so looking forward to reading about it.”

MIRIAM CADONI

“Who? Was that a typing error? Never heard of them.” STEVE HARRISON

“??? Could be Elbow ???” JAMES SHARDLOW

“Another of the crop of amazing women creating barrierdefying music at the moment. I’d file alongside Jane Weaver, Anna von Hausswolff, Susanna Wallumrød, Chelsea Wolfe, Cate Le Bon and more. All musically different, but definitely fitting under the prog umbrella.” FIONA MILSOME

“I think she’s a bit like Kate Bush on occasion and that’s good enough for me.”

BEN WILSON

“Why do you feature this rubbish?” CLIVE EKKERSLEY

“I’d not heard of her before but caught a few live streams in lockdown last year after I saw them on the Prog website. I now have five of her albums – she certainly fits the prog genre as far as I’m concerned.”

ALVIN JONES

“She sounds like Kate Bush. I can’t stand Kate Bush. Enough said.”

MATTHEW BEVINGTON

“I think she’s amazing. Proggy enough for me, Always good to see more and more female artists creeping into the prog world.”

ANNE BEVAN

“Yawns and immediately turns the page to find some proper music!”
