CALMDOWN
(ft. Thëar)
(experimental electronic, trip-hop, electro pop)

Byrd
(glitch, experimental electronic, avant pop)
Quick pitch: As if David Lynch directed your brains inner catacombs, and revealed your deepest, darkest secrets. ‘Sæt Mig Ud’ is an anti-single, that focuses on the dark filters and desolate echo chambers, and Byrd is a band that dares to focus on the unexplainable.
