“ŌLI” is the name of a new solo project by musician Óli Joensen, also known as the lead singer and songwriter of the indie pop/rock band TeleMama.

ŌLI’s music is characterized by a characteristic Faroese sense of melancholy, where emotions, nature, and existence collide in a deep and interesting sonic landscape. Drawing inspiration from Faroese artists and releases, ŌLI creates a unique identity in which Faroese nature and everyday life are an integral part of both the sound and the lyrics.

“Risar og trøll” (“Giants and Trolls”) is the first single from Óli’s new solo project. With this song, Óli lays the foundation for the sound of this project and offers a sense of what can be expected from future releases and live performances.

On July 3rd, he will present what he has been working on in recent months at OY, in a concert that promises to be both intimate, interesting and epic.
