Thyra Hilden explores love & loneliness with debut album ‘LOVE DRUGS’

Following the release of her EP, ‘Lucid Dreampop’, which claimed the blog’s Album of the Month back in March and also scoops the Album of the Week title twice, visual artist/musician THYRA HILDEN continues to push the boundaries as a new singer/songwriter with album debut, ‘LOVE DRUGS’.

With the help with fellow musicians, Lucas Caddeo (Production, keys, bass, guitar), Martin Drago (Guitar) and Mads Jensen (Drums), the album goes on a journey of ironic twists and happy-sad sweet-pain paradoxes, where Thyra has a minimal and very direct language that captures the most difficult things in life.

Thyra says of the inspiration behind the album: “Love and loneliness are basically chemical processes in the brain and body, and this knowledge creates a slightly absurd twist to joy, longing and devotion”

Danish-born Thyra Hilden have attracted international media attention from Reuters, Euronews, BBC and many more for her mesmerizing dreamy sound which is widely described as existential pop.

‘LOVE DRUGS’ album is now available across various music platforms. Why not check it out below…
