New Music: Ida Laurberg

Minimal Danish indie pop that perfectly balances deep intensity with a sense of fragility.

Watch: Scarlet Pleasure – SOS

“The recent weeks and months of 2020, made us think about marginalised communities and people who are deprived of not having access to the simpler things in life that we all take for granted. We wanted the video for ’SOS’ to take us all to this place of simplicity and happiness”.

First drop of new album ‘Garden’ is set for release on June 19, 2020 on Copenhagen Records.

Watch: Maximillian – Beautiful Scars

There was zero doubt in my mind that this Danish talent was going to be huge, and it’s so great to see it come to reality; he’s recently hit 12 millions streams on Spotify with ‘Beautiful Scars’.

“I hung out with the wrong people and did a lot of things I regret. I literally lived my life on the edge at the age of 13 and ‘Beautiful Scars’ is me learning to deal and live with my flaws.”

Nicklas Sahl – In The Window Frame

A very cute release from rising Danish talent Nicklas Sahl, who is back today with a song that sums up the helplessness you experience from missing someone you like.

“When the loneliness hits you and you get dragged into the illusion of missing the girl, even though you know deep inside that it’s not rational. The classic situation where you are standing in a bar, sending her a text, knowing that you will regret it at the very next moment. In the song, I walk the line and go out and scream her name towards the window frame and wake up all the neighbours. In real life, I go to the studio and write a song about doing it instead. It is easier to tell the story and yell it out from the speakers than out in the real world.”

Taken from the forthcoming album, which is due by end of summer.

Scarlet Pleasure – SOS

This Danish trio never cease to surprise me with their releases – I’ve lost count of how many genre’s they have experimented with in the last few years.

I love it in all honesty; I wish more pop bands were this fearless. Here we are treated to a slice of indie pop, blended with some subtle reggae tones.
