Next up to join our mixtape series is the enigmatic Norway-based artist and music producer Mörmaid! Immersed in a boundless sonic universe, she weaves influences from luminaries like Grimes, Röyksopp, SOPHIE, Burial, Kelly Lee Owens, and Arca. Mörmaid’s creative journey traverses an eclectic soundscape, seamlessly blending the untamed freedom of free jazz with the driving beats of techno, the lush textures of dream pop with the cutting-edge dynamics of hyperpop.
The outcome is a sound that is both ethereal and kinetic, a perfect fusion of the melodic and the avant-garde. Her tracks have resonated across BBC Radio and Norway’s NRK P3, marking her as a rising star on the airwaves. Esteemed publications like Sound on Sound and Electronic Music Magazine have recognized her innovative prowess, while her surreal music video for ‘Wet Summer’ has captivated over 140k viewers on YouTube. Mörmaid’s debut album, ‘Pearlescent Dark,’ released on May 23, 2024, has garnered critical acclaim both domestically and abroad, establishing her as a formidable talent in the global music landscape.
“I have always had a very eclectic music taste, and I believe that is reflected in this mix. I wanted to create a blend of dark, euphoric, emotional and playful. Some of the tracks are minimalistic and take you into a trance, others make you cry, and others hit you in the face with extreme beats and out-of-this-world drops. I hope you enjoy it!”
