Sassy 009 is the shape-shifting project from Oslo-based producer, songwriter and vocalist Sunniva Lindgård. After finding early acclaim as a trio with 2017’s Do You Mind EP, Sassy 009 rebooted as a solo vehicle in 2019, later evolving into 2021’s sultry, bass-driven Heart Ego mixtape.
But 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, studded with guest contributions from Blood Orange, BEA1991 and Yunè Pinku.
PROXOXIE emerged from the Midwest in 2021 as a conceptual scenecore project, breaking through with the single “Kill Me Slowly.” Blending industrial atmospheres with her classically trained piano background, she carved out a distinct lane in internet-driven subculture. She is defined by her contrasting themes of beauty and atrocity and her delicate, yet raw vocals. Her 2023 debut album, Darling, It Wouldn’t be a Party Without You…, refined that duality into playful alt-pop laced with makina and dubstep, a more polished take on her DIY roots.
She continued exploring world-building on her liminal pop album Hotel Proxoxie and frosty, icy textures on everysecondeverymoment. She’s now preparing her forthcoming album, expanding on those same contrasts of fragility and intensity with a refined taste in dark club and electro pop.
