Originaire d’Ottawa, au Canada, Leif Vollebekk est un multi-instrumentiste et auteur-compositeur-interprète connu pour ses chansons pop mélancoliques et introspectives, explorant les thèmes du désir, de l’amour perdu et de l’aventure. Durant son enfance et son adolescence, il découvre la musique de Bob Dylan, Neil Young et Lou Reed, tout en développant un lien avec les écrits des auteurs de la Beat Generation comme Allen Ginsberg et Charles Bukowski. Après avoir expérimenté de nombreux instruments, son intérêt initial se porte sur la composition et la construction d’une chanson plutôt que sur les paroles – jusqu’à ce qu’il entende Simple Twist of Fate de Dylan. Cette révélation le pousse à s’intéresser davantage à la narration et à l’illustration poétique par les mots. Il décide alors d’élargir son horizon créatif et se rend en Islande pour explorer ses racines nordiques. Imprégné de la culture singulière du pays et expérimentant divers sons et styles d’écriture, il finit par façonner son identité sonore, décrite comme un croisement entre Sigur Rós et Bob Dylan. Fort de cette évolution, il rentre au Canada, s’installe à Montréal et commence à travailler sur une collection de chansons cohérentes. Le fruit de ce travail est Inland, sorti en 2010 sous le label Fontana North. L’album est salué pour sa capacité à mettre en lumière la scène country islandaise encore méconnue.

Hailing from Ottawa, Canada, Leif Vollebekk is a multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter known for his somber, melancholy pop songs, which capture the themes of yearning, long-lost love, and adventure. During his childhood and teens, he discovered the music of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Lou Reed while also discovering a connection with the writings and works of Beat Generation authors Allen Ginsberg and Charles Bukowski. Having tried his hand at a multitude of instruments, he was initially interested in composition and shaping a song, rather than lyrics; at least until he heard Dylan’s “Simple Twist of Fate.” With a newfound obsession for illustrating stories and images with words, he sought to expand upon his creative abilities and headed to Iceland to discover his Nordic roots. Immersed in the country’s unique culture, and experimenting with different types of sound and songwriting, he eventually created his sonic palette, described as falling “somewhere in between Sigur Rós and Bob Dylan.” Feeling confident with this, he returned to Canada, settling in Montreal, and went to work on a cohesive collection of songs. The result was Inland, released in 2010 through Fontana North. The record was commended for effectively exposing the little-known Icelandic country scene.
