SOLPSICHE
Live Sollid is the mind behind the name Solpsiche. She is one of the pioneers of progressive electronic music in the Oslo underground scene and has proven herself to be an unstoppable creative force in the fields between electronic and vocal experimentation. Coupled with a strong sense of rhythmic energy and harmonic drive, her music is as hypnotic as it is energizing.

The strongest influences they have with their music would be Royal Blood, Bleeker and Cleopatrick.
