As far as song concepts go, the story of a man who has been missing since last Wednesday is certainly an intriguing one. That's exactly how Highasakite frontwoman Ingrid Helene Håvik describes the band's new single - even if the tale does not have an ending. She hopes the listener will engage with the open narrative of the track and and draw their own conclusions.
'Since Last Wednesday' is the opening track from the Norwegian band's new album Silent Treatment. The track is a fresh approach to pop-folk which flirts with the borders of electro and is inventive and brilliant throughout, reminiscent of Icelandic stars Of Monsters & Men - but with a slick, hipster edge. This week, Highasakite performed a show at London's Cargo venue, and we caught up with the band for an exclusive live session.
