Following the trend of ethereal electro pop gushing out of Scandinavia, Gundelach drops new single Duck Hunting ahead of the release of new album Baltus via U OK?. Recorded between London and Oslo with Knut Sævik, John Calvert and Øyvind Mathisen as co-producers, the track showcases Gundelach’s sonic craftsmanship, soaring Bon Iver-esque vocals and infectious Nordic-noir writing straight out of the Ásgeir playbook.
On the track, Gundelach has commented, “The song is about being in a relationship, about being depressed and having someone helping you through it. I was listening to ‘I’m on fire’ by Bruce Springsteen on repeat all summer and wanted to channel the feeling of that song with a song of my own. I sat down with my Juno 60 and had it ready in no time. Ultimately it’s hopeful but still sad. I named the demo ‘Duck Hunting’ because it symbolized nostalgia to me and it just stuck. I used to play that game on my Nintendo, with the plastic gun and everything.”
