New Music: Simen Mitlid

A stunning piece of folk and chilled indietronica from a Norwegian talent who has captured a sense of perfect melancholy on this track, with swopping orchestrations and emotive harmonies.

Taken from the upcoming album ‘Birds’ which is scheduled for release later this year.

“A lot of people don’t know about mental health. People lack knowledge and don’t understand that your mental health isn’t necessarily who you are. You can be depressed but that doesn’t mean you don’t want to go outside or you don’t have feelings. To me it’s not taboo at all to talk about mental health. Everyone has a mental health. I don’t see talking about sex as a taboo thing either.”

Lido – Rise

Having already worked with the likes of  Halsey, Chance The Rapper, Banks, Jaden Smith, JoJo and Skrillex to name a few, Lido has without doubt been one of Norway’s biggest music success stories of recent years (and a big Alfitude favourite).

Today sees his return with a release that carries his trademark style and presented in a space-themed visual which is a delight to experience.

Taken from the upcoming album ‘PEDER’.

New Music: ST. NIKLAS

A rousing blend of Norwegian power pop and synth.

“In one moment you’re in loves’ intoxication, but in the next one you feel that love is a curse. It’s pretty weird, but while looking back on previous relationships even my very best friends couldn’t comfort me. It really makes no sense when I’m looking back on it. Is it because the need of being seen is biggest from that very person that just told you you’re not good enough?”
