Laikka - Morning Glow (2021)

After the internationally acclaimed singles “The Answer” and “Dissolving”, Laikka present a great and true electronic pop gem with their album debut “Morning Glow”. As with Laikka’s previous works, the album’s content is about breaking out of rigid, pre-fixed structures and diving into one’s own vulnerability. Compelling and fascinating how the duo thereby mixes dreamy pop, experimental electronics and dark techno into a unity.

“Morning Glow is for us a gentle rebellion against rigid categories, a commitment to the liberation of the true self. It’s about nothing less than the freedom to give yourself as you want to be, to stand by positive as well as negative emotions in equal measure, and to accept your own vulnerability as strength – without fear of thereby failing to live up to social norms. Feelings are placed above logic and rationality – all these emotions, melancholy and longing, ambivalence, but also the desire for fulfillment are infused in our songs.”
