KIDSØ, the Munich duo (Moritz Grassinger and Martin Schneider) are back with a new single called “Lykke,” which means “fortune” in Swedish and is out now on Embassy One. Ten years ago, the producer team took a trip through the uninhabited Scandinavian landscapes of rolling hills, stunning drops, and jagged peaks. Their sparsely melodic electronica music moves mountains and gives us hope.
It is set against a huge, haunting soundscape made up of strings and a mixed choir that makes you think of a Sisyphean battle and a strong sense of grief and loss. In terms of melody, though, it’s the metallic double-time arpeggiator and the offbeat LFO bass that really make the track shine. Until the chorus, where a female singer takes over and sings two lines that capture the song’s mind-over-matter spirit: “We can move the mountains/We can burn them down, set fire to it all.”
Lykke represents a deep dive into the melancholic and fragile side of our sound. Like its predecessor ‘Ylva,’ the track was inspired by the stark beauty of Nordic landscapes, evoking feelings of solitude, snow, and serenity. It reflects our current sonic identity—fresh, delicate and emotional. We’re incredibly proud to release this piece with Embassy One and share it with the world.
The Munich two-piece not only make their glacial electronica sound even more solid with “Lykke,” but judging by how their Turkish fans reacted in Eskisehir, Ankara, and Istanbul, they also prove that they are an electrifying live act that their German fans can still see for themselves during the last leg of their European tour.
