Elizabete Balčus has shared her new track ‘IKA’ exclusively first on Gigslutz. Scroll down to stream the track.

‘IKA’ is inspired by Greek mythology, the story of Icarus, as Elizabete portrays a luminous perspective amongst an experiential electronic backdrop of ideas.  Elizabete is reminiscent in places of Efterklang, Bjork or Aphex Twin.  Delicate harmonies intertwine, as sounds merge with moments of pure industrial experimentation. Elizabete seeks out the world of Icarus as she soars metaphorically reaching for the sun, demonstrating a courageous and experimental soul, as she cautiously searches for new worlds.

A Latvian musician and performance artist Elizabete Balčus creates neo-psychedelic dream pop from collaged, genre juxtapositions that are simultaneously melodic and experimental working with a strong visual aesthetic that draws upon modern surrealism, contemporary fashion and geometric imagery. Elizabete attended The Latvian Academy of Music in order to study classical and jazz flute, plus opera vocal in Rome’s Santa Cecilia Academy.

 

‘IKA’ is released on August 10, via Wall of Sound.
