On 13 March, mikey release their debut EP, first notes, following a laser-focused 2025 with their first five singles. On their debut, the Copenhagen duo invites listeners into their dreamy and melancholic pop universe where contrasts collide.
Across the four tracks, the duo moves between alternative pop, indie, and electronic compositions with subtle echoes of club nostalgia. Balancing restraint and release on tracks like the upcoming second single wash away, each song is built around highly memorable melodies and a deliberate, distinct choice of sounds and instruments, folded into unconventional pop compositions.
On the EP, Maiken Kock Rask steps into the light with her crystal-clear vocals, supported by a soundscape of organic beats and analogue sounds, ranging from new-age-inspired synthesizers to the distorted guitar solos of wash away. With first notes, the duo demonstrate a willingness to explore new interpretations of modern pop and draw from a wide range of genres.
