29-year-old **Eydís Evenson** – who also sings on the album, for the first time – confronted her own hardships and sorrows in order to create *The Light*. Some were born from the crises we all endured together: the Covid-19 pandemic; her horror at Russia’s war on Ukraine; her dread that the glaciers and natural wonders of her native Iceland that inspired her to write music in the first place will soon be devastated by the impact of climate change.

There were also personal ordeals – ghosts from her past to be exorcised, demons in her closet that pushed her to challenging brinks. As the toll of these situations weighed on her, Evensen did what she always did: she sat at her piano, stretched her fingers and began to play.

Now, Evensen continues this journey with her upcoming album *Oceanic Mirror*, set for release on October 10th on XXIM Records. The album captures the ocean in all its power and contradictions, speaking to elemental truths about loss, reincarnation, and the cycles of life. On August 29th, she releases *Challenger Deep*, a single that finds hope even in the darkest depths – a quiet reminder that light can still be imagined in the deepest dark.
