about

Swedish duo Gidge returns with the new single 'Bleak' in support of their upcoming EU tour with stops in Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Budapest, and more.

Jonatan Nilsson and Ludvig Stolterman are known for their famously naturalistic sound that draws on the beauty of the forests of Sweden, all distilled into lush emotive synths, field recordings, silent breaks (with hints of neo-classical), and powerful peaks. Their new single 'Bleak' is Gidge's first outing since 'New Light' LP on Atomnation back in November 2020, an accomplished project that was three years in the making and inspired by their trip across the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

This new single's vocals are from Maggie Thornton, who releases her own music as Sky Civilian. It proves to be a fantastic union from the first moments as Thornton's whispers draw you in next to melancholic pads. A loose, broken beat rhythm slowly appears and is a jumbled mix of hits, scrapes and off-grid kicks. Sombre chords are so tender you can hear the heartbreak while strings tentatively rebuild and the rhythm tumble onwards again.

'Bleak' is an indie-electronic fusion drawn from a palette of organic sound that conveys a cautious but beautiful sense of hope.
