We are super hyped to announce the latest releases through our label division, Higher by Icescape & Piga. The captivating electronic acoustic indie-pop piece is filled with atmospheric landscapes of lush strings, dreamy piano, and organic guitars. Piga’s vocal conveys a genuine heartfelt story about hardships, ultimately focusing on reaching higher and into the light.

 

“Higher” is a heartfelt piece that we feel very much connected to.

– Icescape

 

The song describes two outer edges, from deep darkness and desperation to the light of hope. The vocals carry a genuine nerve telling the story of hardship and friendship through difficult times.

While working on the tune, Icescape wanted to use the soundscape to convey both darkness and chaos, beauty and hope, to add another dimension to the lyrics. By combining the delicate guitar work and folk vocals of Piga, with the electronic ambiance from the sonic world of Icescape the song turned out both organic and otherworldly simultaneously. While dark in nature it ultimately offers encouragement, hope, and warmth.

Hope is also represented in the cover design, with the flower opening up and reaching out into the world.

 

Our wish is that the tune can be like a warm, comforting blanket, bringing hope and encouragement to those listening.

– Piga

 

In this dark electroacoustic pop piece, you will find the message of hope, supporting each other, and believing in yourself even in the hardest of times.
