Watch: This Is Head – AB Version
Criminally underrated Malmö quartet, This Is Head have floated the first track from their upcoming second LP, The Album ID, due out 27 March on Adrian Recordings.
‘AB Version’ has everything you could possibly want from a Scandinavian indie pop record and more; tinkling idiophones, triumphant horns and spaced out samples all contribute to the dreamy but nonetheless purposeful and energetic aesthetic; while a discordant guitar riff cuts through the pleasant cooing of synthetic strings, lending a distinctly krauty flavour to the track.
The breathtaking accompanying video leaves us asking ourselves whether ‘wingsuiting’ looks amazingly exhilarating or just downright terrifying. We’re probably too chicken.
