A truly stunning, wintery treat from Norway’s emotionally charged Highasakite.
The short but sweet mixtape (available to stream and download below) begins with a haunting paen to sadness from Ingrid and follows with an array of deeply emotive moments from the likes of Sigur Rós, Stian Westerhus, climaxing with a classic cut from Fever Ray.
Highasakite headline London’s Birthday’s on February 19. Tickets are available here.
Tracklist:
Ingrid – “This Xmas”
Stian Westerhus – “Empty Hans Mirrored Softly”
Sigur Ros – “Glosoli”
Stian Westerhus – “Don´t Tell Me This Is Home”
Hanne Hukkelberg – “Mid Night Sun Dream”
Fever Ray – “Keep The Streets Empty For Me”
