Enfnts Terribles

We described your previous single “IMYG” as an extremely hypnotizing and enchanting electro-pop song. How would you describe the song?

Thank you! To me this track is an invitation to slip out of reality and fall into the joy that can only be experienced on a steamy dance floor. The physical release that allows you to be free and unlock things that you don’t need to hold onto emotionally.

The songs tempo changed a few times during the creation phase, my producer Maria Korkeila and I tested three different speeds and ended up choosing the beat we thought would allow us all to properly unleash and also just have a much needed laugh. It’s a light track conceptually and one intended simply to enjoy.

You’ve been part of several bands before launching yourself as a solo act. In what way does that experience help you now?

The moments shared with my past bands led me to fall deeply in love with the world of music and playing live. It was all pretty new to me when I discovered this expression of sound through my first band the Galaxy Girls and I then had many beautiful experiences so it turned life into a total tunnel vision towards becoming a musician.

I grow into myself more and more as an artist through the wonderful people I‘m lucky enough to play with and those that I admire. I‘ll always prefer to perform live with a full band and to share that high together.

Your new music is quite different from what you used to make. What inspired that shift?

Moving to Europe altered my musical reality pretty drastically. Coming from the small surf town of Byron Bay I was mostly surrounded by folk, punk, psych or surf rock set ups and hadn’t ever really encountered the world of synth driven sounds or much live electronic music. It was wild arriving in Europe, visiting some of the major cities and experiencing each of the sound universes they had to offer.

What’s your plan for the near future?

I’m just about to head to Australia to see family and friends for the next few months, play shows on the east coast and then come back to Europe to record my next album. All the while I’m just trying to soak it in and enjoy every step of the ride as it‘s been pretty killer so far.

Syzygy is out now and includes her new single “Urgence”.
