Blue Foundation are proud to announce the release of, ‘Ecstasy in Space’, the third single from their forthcoming new album ‘Close to the Knife’, which is set for release on April 18th. Recorded in 2024 and written by Tobias Wilner, this dreamy, shoegazey track takes listeners on a sonic journey through ethereal soundscapes and pulsating rhythms, capturing the essence of liberation and desire. The track also introduces a new member to the Blue Foundation lineup, Nina Dahlgaard Larsen, who provides vocals on this song.
‘Ecstasy in Space’ is a fuzzy and delicious snowball of pure dream pop that calls you to surrender to the moment. The track tells you to hold on tight and glide with grace and reminds you that true ecstasy comes from the freedom of choice and the strength to surrender. On the single, Tobias Wilner said, “I wanted to capture my feeling of floating high on feelings”. His words echo in the refrain, “Wish you were mine”.
The music video for “Ecstasy In Space” is a dreamy journey into the energy and emotion of a group of young people in Copenhagen. Shot with an artistic and cinematic aesthetic, the video follows them as they venture into the night on their way to an underground warehouse party. The music video, directed by Hannah Bertram, is a visual poem – hypnotic, raw and nostalgic.
Founded in 2000 by Danish singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Tobias Wilner, the group was inspired by Mark E. Smith’s method of forming a band (The Fall), with Wilner recruiting a rotating lineup of traditional musicians over the years to fuel creativity. Since 2010, the core members of the band have been Tobias Wilner and Bo Rande, working between Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and Copenhagen, Denmark.
Blue Foundation is renowned for their distinctive fusion of electronic music and dream pop. Drawing inspiration from the ethereal nature of dream pop and a moody, introspective atmosphere, the band creates immersive soundscapes characterized by emotive vocals and intricate production. Their music often evokes a sense of melancholy and reflection, resonating with listeners who appreciate ambient, emotive melodies and introspective themes.
The band has released several well-received albums, including ‘Life of a Ghost’, ‘In My Mind I Am Free’ and ‘Blood Moon’. These albums showcase their signature style and have cemented their reputation in the indie music scene. They have collaborated with a range of artists and producers, enriching their sound and expanding their reach within the music industry. Collaborators include Jonas Bjerre (Mew), Erika Spring (Au Revoir Simone), Findlay Brown, DJ Krush, Sara Savery, and Wang Wen.
Blue Foundation’s music has been featured in various popular films, such as Michael Mann’s ‘Miami Vice’, and TV shows like ‘The Vampire Diaries’. Their song ‘Eyes on Fire’ gained significant fame after being included in the soundtrack of the movie ‘Twilight’. Blue Foundation is sampled by Lil Durk featuring French Montana on his track ‘Fly High’ and Young Thug‘s song ‘She Noticed’. They co-wrote the song ‘Taurus’ for Machine Gun Kelly.
‘Ecstasy In Space’ is mixed by Tobias Wilner and mastered by Francesco Donadello.
Blue Foundation’s forthcoming album ‘Close to the Knife’ is set to be released on the 18th of April through KØN Records.
