In WA just before New Year for a memorable set at the Southbound festival, Norway’s Highasakite are back with a brand new single 5 Million Miles, their first since last year’s third album (and Norwegian number one) Camp Echo.
It’s a surprisingly quick turnaround but perhaps the biggest surprise is that they’ve enlisted the help of Norwegian countrymen and producers Stargate (Beyonce, Coldplay, Sia) and mixed it with Grammy-Award winner and repeat Billboard offender Miles Walker.
It’s uncharted territory for Highasakite but fans will be happy to know that while a definite progression, it doesn’t step too away from the soaring signature vocals of Ingrid Helene Håvik, navigating the meteoric apocalypse with effortless pop sheen.
5 Million Miles is out now via Propeller Recordings/ Caroline Australia.
