ShitKid - Fish [CD]

ShitKid is the project of 24-year- old ≈sa Sˆderqvist who made her debut last spring with a self-titled debut EP, which quickly propelled her into being one of the most talked about new acts in Sweden. Originally from the north of Sweden, ≈sa moved to Gothenburg after high school, starting a feminist punk band and acting amongst other things, before turning inward and recording what would become her debut EP on a broken computer at home, while learning to use GarageBand. The end result was a distinct sound, mixing lo-fi sensibilities and catchy songwriting with ≈sas unmistakeable vocals. The three-track ShitKid EP was released via the Stockholm based label PNKSLM Recordings in the spring of 2016 to great acclaim, reaching far beyond its lo-fi confines to find fans at the likes of The FADER, Pigeons & Planes and SPIN internationally, while her debut single Oh Please Be A Cocky Cool Kid appeared on national TV in Sweden the morning after it was released. An expanded version of the debut EP was released in the summer of 2016, which saw ShitKid playing several Swedish festivals before making her debut international appearances in the fall, alternating between playing to full houses in London and monthly shows in her new hometown Stockholm. Close to a year after first appearing, ShitKid released the follow-up to her debut EP, the self-describing second EP "EP 2" which arrived on March 3 via PNKSLM Recordings. Over four tracks its another lo-fi statement of intent, inviting the listener into ShitKids world and showcasing ≈sa strength as a songwriter, with live favourite Sugar Town leading the charge. Now ShitKid is ready to announce her long-awaited debut LP titled Fishits due for release on June 2 via PNKSLM Recordings on vinyl, cd and digitally. Recorded during the same sessions as EP 2its another step on ShitKids musical journey offering up a sound thats clearer than the lo-fi murkiness of the debut EP but still very much the opposite to the slick pop dominating the musical landscape today. ShitKid will be doing select festival shows during the spring, leading up to a UK and EU tour around The Great Escape ahead of the album before spending the summer on the road with slots at ex Roskilde Festival announced already, with a lot more UK and EU dates TBA. Fish is written, recorded, performed and produced by ≈sa Sˆderqvist and mixed by Simon Skeleton.
