Den 3 juni är legendariska Noice tillbaka med nya singeln Fortfarande vi, släppt via Icons Creating Evil Art. Låten blir ännu ett smakprov från bandets kommande album, som planeras att släppas under vintern, och visar upp en ljusare och mer somrig sida av Noice — utan att tappa det emotionella djup som alltid präglat bandets musik. “‘Fortfarande vi’ är en glad sommarpoplåt, som ändå har ett sentimentalt stråk i sig någonstans.

Ellen Benediktson dives into yearning and impulse on her second EP, WID4L. Following her debut EP Good Girl, Ellen pushes both her sound and artistic expression further, exploring the beautiful and destructive extremes of love in a maximalist pop landscape. “In a world that feels overwhelming, I become more self-aware than ever,” Ellen explains. “There’s nothing smart about acting on impulse, but it feels so good in the moment.
