APRICOT

Themes of feeling confident yet insecure, being bitter but letting go, growing up and being lost all while feeling good in your own body. This is SKIA. Armed with a collection of audacious fjord-beat bangers, the Norwegian pop innovator medicates her sound with sick beats, glacial synths, and melodic nutrients. SKIA bonds the void between kickdrum and snare via a landscape of tilting synth peaks and bubbling electronica valleys. Backed by a five-piece band, the live show is a like a Pride highlights reel. A randomizer of festival make-up, sequined costumery, cute props, set design and instruments adorned in sparkle. File under #iykyk.
