A breath of fresh air, AGGRASOPPAR help us escape the mainstream grind, offering a slice of cathartic, experimental sonic matter drenched in leftfield electronica, creative rap stylings and a touch of punk fierceness. Extremely eclectic, the Faroese-based project has been making waves in the UK recently, where they are set to land in May at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton – safe to say, we won’t miss their show.
‘OMMACHEPANNEKÆK’ (GRANDMA MAKES PANCAKES) is the project’s latest effort, a single that’s perhaps gentler and more elegant, focusing on slow-burn dissonant textures and clear, luscious vocals, all delivered with the collective’s usual quirky character. Lyrically, that’s where the song comes alive, with AGGRASOPPAR offering a metaphorical look into the chaos of everyday experiences.
As they explain: “It’s the nightmare when you’re preparing dinner for the party, but the salad is a singing octopus, and the guests arrive five hours too early with 200 friends, while your house is somehow simultaneously your childhood home and your grandmother’s place. It’s a song about the maternal love in the taste of grandma’s pancakes. Nobody makes ’em like grandma.”
