The Danish siblings in OhNothing, demonstrates with the new single "Static", that they manage to be innovative and experimental, but at the same time nod towards nostalgia, drawing deep references to the 80s electronic pop scene.
Annika's powerful vocals has on several occasions been compared to a young Kate Bush and adding that to a cocktail of high energy and a danceable beat, must surely bring all the boys and girls on the dance floor.
“Picture yourself at a party, it might be at a club, you might even be at a family gathering. You feel yourself watching everyone around you, and as you’re deep in thought you feel it, the music. Suddenly the voices fade, and you are as if hypnotized by the rhythm. Whether or not your whole body is moving, or it’s just your left foot, it doesn’t matter. That is Static” – explains lead singer Annika
Since the two first got noticed, they have been working nonstop on their music, perfecting their craft and making pure experimental ethereal electro-pop, working with some of the best producers, such as Esben Svane and Carsten Heller.
lyrics
All around
All around - is static
Can you feel your legs pulsating
Sparks of energy activating - activating
Let go
Give in
Feel the world begin
We begin
All around
All around - is static
Moving like
Moving like - it’s automatic
See the energy never gives in
Lightning rain feels so cleansing - oh so cleansing
Can’t stop
Won’t stop
Static marks no end
It’s never ending
All around
All around - is static
Moving like
Moving like - it’s automatic
All around
All around - is static
Moving like
Moving like - it’s automatic
