Sandra Kolstad “Zero Gravity State Of Mind” (exclusive)

04 Sep 2014 — Henning Lahmann

There's something about Berlin via Oslo artist Sandra Kolstad's music that we can neither properly grasp nor even clumsily frame into words, and that is certainly not to be sufficiently explained by referring to that sad old cliché of the Scandinavian pop genius (a trope that we, gentle reader, love to invoke both ironically and in all seriousness). "Zero Gravity State Of Mind", title track and second single taken from Kolstad's upcoming third full-length, is not only more complex and rich in detail than perhaps any other straightforward pop song you'll come across in 2014, effortlessly stuffing more ideas into a single bar than your average internet phenomenon has had during their entire career, it's on top that also flawlessly titled: the song's playful loftiness triggers just that, a worry-free four and a half minutes that are probably the closest you'll get to finding your peace of mind this week. Listen to the premiere of "Zero Gravity State Of Mind" below.

Zero Gravity State Of Mind is out October 6 via Red Eye Transit.

Sandra Kolstad will be performing live at Nordic By Nature's Our/Berlin Music Week showcase tomorrow, September 5, at 8pm. Find out more over here.
