Bleep

Norwegian artist and producer Sunniva Lindgård AKA Sassy 009 leaves the heart racing and the blood pumping on Heart Ego, a Y2K-fueled mixtape examining modern anxieties through cathartic Gen Z bedroom pop with visceral techno stylings. ‘Forever Seventeen’ opens like a sonic mission statement, where overdriven bass rushes and bleached guitars soundtrack the feeling of growing up in an increasingly complex world. Neon lights quickly flood the darkness, lighting up ethereal trance, chiptune-esque beats, and Lindgård’s husky vocals. Frenetic percussion sonifies relationship worries on ‘Red Plum’, meanwhile smooth licks and harmonies make for catchy and hyperkinetic R&B on ‘Wannabe’.
