“Enemy” by Sassy 009

Sassy 009’s has released new single “Enemy”, the track is off the artist’s debut album Dreamer+. The LP includes collaborations with Blood Orange, Yuné Pinku and BEA1991. Dreamer+ drops on January 16 via [PIAS] Électronique / HEAVEN-SENT. Sassy 009 is the project from Oslo-based producer, songwriter and vocalist Sunniva Lindgård.

The video for the track was filmed in Margate by close collaborators & renowned Oslo & Montreal-based directors Maria Hilde and Mikaela Kautzky, who help make up the female/non-binary Norwegian-Canadian snowboarding-meets-creative collective that Sassy 009 is heavily involved in.

For Lindgård, the forthcoming Dreamer+ is her true debut: a concept-driven album pieced together from nearly four years of studio effort, and an ambitious attempt to take complete control of her artistry. Steered by freshly distorted vocals and elements of grunge, shoegaze, ‘90s beatronica and gauzy hyperpop, the album is a record of self-discovery and self-effacement at once, Dreamer+ is work of fiction at its core, a grim fairytale in which dreams and emotions are processed through a landscape of shapeshifting characters, dark forces and moral responsibilities.

Dreamer+ is an album Lindgård has imagined for years. It has taken on many forms, shapes and sizes. Like those morphing silhouettes you see at nighttime, this distinctive body of work has been an ever-evolving assimilation of disciplines. Its final form is a crystalising constellation of connected works – a bricolage of thought, feeling, and creative desire. Each element offers a familiar entry point into the same underlying themes: identity, memory, and the shifting boundaries of self – where the dreamer is the only witness / only one who remembers.
