There’s a quiet storm brewing in Wolfheart, the latest album from Icelandic singer-songwriter Sæfari.

This record feels like an unflinching letter to the heartbroken, weaving stories of love and loss with a sonic palette that shifts from tender folk to searing punk-tinged indie rock.
“The album is about capturing raw emotion and the human spirit… The songs on the album differ in mood and feel but maybe the most common mood is heartbreak. There are a number of songs on the album about the loss of love or the yearning of it. †– Sæfari
It’s the kind of album that wears its emotions on its sleeve… Across its tracks, Sæfari offers a raw honesty that’s impossible to ignore. Heartbreak dominates, but it’s not one-note. There’s a sense of searching here—yearning, questioning, and, at times, accepting. His voice carries the weight of this journey, moving seamlessly between hushed vulnerability and impassioned intensity.
Wolfheart showcases its rich instrumentation: Acoustic guitars form the emotional bedrock, but Sæfari isn’t afraid to layer on strings, steel guitar, and Hammond organ for dramatic effect. The accordion’s unexpected appearance feels like a nod to his Icelandic roots, grounding even the most experimental moments
Producer Sigurður Guðmundsson brings a textured depth to the sound, while London-based Marco Pasquariello and Guy Davie polish the mix without sanding down its edges. There’s an authenticity in the production—a rawness that lets each emotion hit squarely in the chest.
Fans of Nick Cave and PJ Harvey will likely find themselves at home here, but Wolfheart doesn’t feel derivative. It’s fresh, alive, and unafraid to take risks. As a debut, it’s deeply ambitious, yet Sæfari pulls it off with a quiet confidence.
With live shows planned in Iceland and Europe, and a cinematic video for ‘Ice Queen’ already out, Wolfheart is just the beginning. If this album is any indication, Sæfari isn’t just telling his story—he’s carving out a place in yours too.
