Each week, Music Week profiles a red hot brand new artist. Under our microscope this week are Norwegian three-piece Sassy 009...
Key Track: Are You Leaving
Label: Hard Up
Management: Luft Recordings
Facebook: facebook.com/SASSY009
Who: Norwegian trio Sunniva, Teodora, and Johanna.
What: Electronic pop, smudged and stained with heartache. Look out for scrambled noise and abstract sequences in amongst the sharp hooks and dancey top lines, too.
Where: Oslo.
Wait, don’t Smerz do something similar?
Yes, and London-based indie label Hard Up has worked with them too, but Sassy 009 seem a scratchier, more unpredictable proposition. Yes, that’s a flute you can hear on Are You Leaving.
So they’ve got a record out already?
The trio’s debut EP, Do You Mind, dropped earlier this month and is a handy 16-minute primer. From the rumble and crackle of Pretty Baby, to Wounds’ airy conclusion, it’s a treat.
Nice. what else have they got going on?
Record label clamour, of course! Sassy 009 were in London to launch their EP, and it’s safe to say they’ve set tongues wagging...
