Recensie
Sassy 009 is een project van de, in Oslo gevestigde, producer, songwriter en vocalist Sunniva Lindgård. Dreamer+ is haar debuut, een album dat is opgebouwd uit intrigerende ritmes, vervormde vocalen en electrobeats. Onder Sassy 009 maakt Sunniva experimentele electro-pop waarin beats, abstracte geluiden en emotionele zang samenkomen. Eigenlijk zijn de 12 songs op Dreamer+ niet echt van elkaar te onderscheiden, maar wordt een dromerig klanklandschap gecreëerd, dat je gedurende het hele album meeneemt in een andere wereld, die gevuld is met meeslepende ritmes. (Cornelis groot)
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. Sent on a mission to an abandoned town, Lindgård is her own main character, hurled into a “magical but distorted dream-like world” after a fatal encounter: “Her love for Jakov is absurdly intertwined with his dying; no path could lead her away from it.”
With her fantasy story as scaffolding, Lindgård sets herself free as a songwriter, taking inspiration from the organic electronica of Gorillaz, the hazy moods of Boards of Canada, Nirvana’s grunge pop logic and even Lil Wayne’s deftly distorted vocals.
