BIOGRAPHY

Laikka is a genre- and gender-bending electronic pop duo that seamlessly blends music with visual art. Deeply rooted in the digital art world, they place equal importance on their sonic creations and visual aesthetics. Known for their experimental sounds, dreamy vocals, and driving electronic beats, Laikka has been steadily gaining international attention.

Formed in early 2020, the duo explores contemporary issues and trends through their music, lyrics, and visuals. Their sound is marked by a melancholic introspection, often touching on themes like loneliness and the diffuse fears of the digital age, all while contrasting these emotions with ambitious dreams.

After releasing several successful singles played on European radio stations, Laikka debuted their album Morning Glow in autumn 2021. The album, praised as an electronic pop gem, was followed by the Red EP, which showcased their affinity for contemporary club culture with a techno concept. In the summer of 2023, they released Bleach, their energetic second studio album, which further cemented their status as one of the most exciting and innovative acts in the scene.

Bleach was widely celebrated for its visionary sound, dazzling vocals, and deft production, with Wonderland Magazine calling it “a masterful work” that skillfully combines powerful narratives and inventive music. Laikka’s third album was released in early summer 2024, continuing their upward trajectory in both the music and art worlds.
