Norwegian innovator SKIA has Scandipop on an IV drip, medicating the sound with sick beats, glacial synths, and melodic nutrients. With a future-bop vision, Annie Norbye reinterprets the acoustic foundation of songs like an electro architect to arrive at an exhilarating juxtaposition: elemental alt-pop that bumps. Sporting glitter war paint and equipped with fjord-beat bangers, SKIA bonds the void between kickdrum and snare via a landscape of tilting synth peaks and bubbling electronica valleys.
