A Nordic inspiration that resulted in a beautiful downtempo tune, “Finja” is the latest release by German duo KIDSØ.

Choral vocals, analog synthesizers, percussions and a foley piano form the delicate body of the track, brought to life by touching cello melodies. This remarkable combination of electronic and organic sounds resulted in a captivating sound journey, which will surely pull several strings in your mind and soul.

The name ‘Finja’ is derived from a location close to a Swedish lake giving lots of inspiration to Moritz and Martin:

The title Finja is based on a Nordic woman’s name and begins with faint but emotional vocals. We tried to work a fragile feeling and restraint silence into the track, symbolizing the lonely setting we all are into at the moment with the pandemic situation. The tension and contrast within the track are built upon the driving and strong percussions and its baseline. The track later shifts even more into its rhythms and drifting baseline. The cello and its melody derived out of some jam sessions with our friend Philipp, who later records even more strings and instruments on the album.
