Highasakite

Highasakite started out opening for other musical projects like Your Headlights Are On, PELbO and Sacred Harp. Their debut album, All That Floats Will Rain, was released in Norway in February, 2012 on record label Riot Factory, and produced by Juhani Silvola and Thomas Dahl. The album reached #16 on the Norwegian Albums Chart.

Silent Treatment was released in February 2014 and reached #1 on the Norwegian Albums Chart. It was named the second best album of the year by Norwegian music critics in a list published by Dagsavisen. The group toured extensively this year, mostly in Norway.

Highasakite inhabits their own rare musical landscape, a place of long dark shadows, sudden flashes of glittering light, brooding silences and unexpected explosions of fierce percussion. Ingrid Håvik’s surrealistic lyrics and ardent vocals float out of another time and place, drawing you down into the breathless maelstrom created by her band mates.
