Originaire d\u2019Ottawa, au Canada, Leif Vollebekk est un multi-instrumentiste et auteur-compositeur-interpr\u00e8te connu pour ses chansons pop m\u00e9lancoliques et introspectives, explorant les th\u00e8mes du d\u00e9sir, de l\u2019amour perdu et de l\u2019aventure. Durant son enfance et son adolescence, il d\u00e9couvre la musique de Bob Dylan, Neil Young et Lou Reed, tout en d\u00e9veloppant un lien avec les \u00e9crits des auteurs de la Beat Generation comme Allen Ginsberg et Charles Bukowski. Apr\u00e8s avoir exp\u00e9riment\u00e9 de nombreux instruments, son int\u00e9r\u00eat initial se porte sur la composition et la construction d\u2019une chanson plut\u00f4t que sur les paroles \u2013 jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce qu\u2019il entende Simple Twist of Fate de Dylan. Cette r\u00e9v\u00e9lation le pousse \u00e0 s\u2019int\u00e9resser davantage \u00e0 la narration et \u00e0 l\u2019illustration po\u00e9tique par les mots. Il d\u00e9cide alors d\u2019\u00e9largir son horizon cr\u00e9atif et se rend en Islande pour explorer ses racines nordiques. Impr\u00e9gn\u00e9 de la culture singuli\u00e8re du pays et exp\u00e9rimentant divers sons et styles d\u2019\u00e9criture, il finit par fa\u00e7onner son identit\u00e9 sonore, d\u00e9crite comme un croisement entre Sigur R\u00f3s et Bob Dylan. Fort de cette \u00e9volution, il rentre au Canada, s\u2019installe \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al et commence \u00e0 travailler sur une collection de chansons coh\u00e9rentes. Le fruit de ce travail est Inland, sorti en 2010 sous le label Fontana North. L\u2019album est salu\u00e9 pour sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 mettre en lumi\u00e8re la sc\u00e8ne country islandaise encore m\u00e9connue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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 R\u00f3s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
