Stood Out In the Storm

Stood Out In The Storm follows the acclaimed Songs From Severn Grove (2023), which drew praise for its warmth, intricacy and timeless songwriting, cementing Ivan’s reputation as one of Wales’ most compelling contemporary voices. While Songs From Severn Grove captured moments of renewal and joy – written in lockdown and during the early days of fatherhood – its follow-up takes a braver, more vulnerable step. Stood Out In The Storm was written in the aftermath of a personal crisis and charts Ivan’s gradual process of healing and recovery. The record traverses darkness and light, despair and resilience, offering a deeply honest exploration of fragility, survival and hope.
