Detalji - Eide Olsen

Detalji - Keep Me Alive.

Today, Finnish electronic artist Detalji has shared new single 'Keep Me Alive', ahead of the release of their forthcoming debut album, Truly, which is set for release on March 31st. New single ‘Keep Me Alive’ merges indie pop with low-fi drum and bass. The track is about miraculously finding a loving relationship after years of being lost. "A friend said it could fit well on a Fleabag soundtrack because of its bittersweet atmosphere,” says Myllyviita.

Detalji is the project of Helsinki based artist Krista Myllyviita. Written during the lockdown years of 2020 and 2021, Detalji's debut album Truly is a slice of pure escapism. Drawing inspiration from the soundtracks of video games they was playing during that time (namely Crash Bandicoot, GTA Vice City and GTA3) carefully weaving a comforting world of their own, creating distinctive sounding pieces of music that are difficult to place in a certain moment in time. Picking up the guitar after years of neglect also served this purpose, surprising their longtime fans with a completely new addition to the Detalji sound.

Truly takes its cues from the pioneering leftfield pop artists of the 80s and 90s. A tasteful dose of nostalgic dance and trance is melded together with a forward-thinking contemporary sound palette in a way that feels completely timeless and totally unique to Detalji. Detalji was nominated for an Emma award ('Finnish Grammy') in 2020 and won a Femma award ('Finnish Indie Grammy') for Best Electronic Music in 2019. Since 2020 Detalji has toured around the world playing shows in the U.S and Europe including performances at SXSW, Eurosonic and Iceland Airwaves.

Eide Olsen - Don't Even Try.

"Don´t Even Try", the new single from Eide Olsen, is delicate pop confection from the top shelf. The song is a taste from the upcoming album, "My Dear", and has been mastered by Ryan Smith (Adele, Beyonce, Coldplay).

The collaboration with Eirik Grønner (Kurt Nilsen, Endre Nordvik) has given Eide Olsen a more modern and "poppish" expression than what we know from previous releases. "Don´t Even Try" effortlessly nods to mid 90s references such as The Cardigans, where small soulful, melodic details and a steady arrangement provide balance to a slightly heartbreaking text.
