Their debut EP first notes brings that vision together in a collection that feels blissful, aerial and airy in the way we love most from dream leaning pop. The project blends new age inspired synthesizers, trap inspired low end beats and delicate wind instruments into something both modern and slightly otherworldly, while moments like the distorted guitar lines on “wash away” hint at the duo’s willingness to dig into different corners of the genre. The final single “a little too late” draws the listener into late night hours where time seems to dissolve, contemplating heartbreak and the emotional traces it leaves behind. The subtle medieval undertones running through the production add an unexpected texture that reminds us of the atmospheres and melodies explored by artists like Oklou and Danny L Harle.

Their new single “wash away” is the second taster off of the EP. The track unfolds gently, layering delicate guitar lines with minimal rhythms and spacious, echo-laden vocals that draw you into its emotional core. As Maiken and Henrik reflect each other’s doubts and vulnerabilities, the song slowly intensifies, eventually opening up into a more distorted and textured finale. The duo describe the song as “a little glow in the dark for anyone in need “, and that feeling of quiet reassurance runs throughout. The track also comes with a video that you can watch below.

You can also stream the song, along with the best releases from the past few days, in our Forecast Tape playlist on Spotify.
