2013
Pop music, yet not quite as you might expect it because Norwegian band Highasakite does everything with a distinctive twist. Singer Ingrid Helene Håvik is supported by a drummer and a wall of synths while she accompanies herself with a zither. Debut album All That Floats Will Rain gave the band the opportunity to perform at the big festivals like the Øya and their talent did not go unnoticed. Not only the audience, but also other artists were impressed, with Bon Iver tweeting “Holy shit this was a crazy band! I loved it!” To see if he was right, go and see Highasakite.
