Norwegian artist Astrid S has released the standalone EP that she’s been briefly working on in between albums. It’s a terrific concept and approach, and one that we would like more artists to lean into in the future. In the singer’s own words:
“I’ve been working on my second album for a while, it’s not coming quite yet, but! I’ve been listening through old demos and voice notes to see if there were any hidden gems. Unfortunately nothing fits in with my upcoming album concept, so I decided to pick out my favourites and make it into an EP. I remember really loving these songs when they were made, some of them years ago, but the timing wasn’t right or they were too weird. Or maybe not good enough. But I love them. The EP is called Felt Cute Might Delete Later.”
The EP takes the three tracks she’s already released, and which have been featured on these pages, and adds new song ‘Darkest Hour’ – grunge-driven electronica that hits a different note for the singer, but which is drawn right back into her ouevre and made quintessentially Astrid S by that inimitable vocal delivery.
