TAKYKARDIA
CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED PROG-POP ACT FRONTED BY ONE OF DENMARK’S MOST CAPTIVATING PERFORMERS AND SINGERS.
The Copenhagen-based pop act Takykardia (nominated as 'Hope of the Year' at The Danish Music Critiques’ Awards Steppeulven 2021) combines elements of most genres in a stylish rendezvous between mainstream pop and avant-garde art.
The band keeps the audience's curiosity with innovative rhythmic progressions, the complexity of their pop hooks, as well as the openhearted lyrics delivered with extreme presence by front woman Luna Matz, whose background in performance art and dance is highly visible in the band’s explosive live shows.
Their 2020 debut-album ‘Better’, praised to the skies by Denmark’s biggest newspaper Politiken (“There is a top-10 potential here - also outside of the borders of Denmark!”), Gaffa (“Wow. Takykardia has definitely put their mark on the Danish (and international) music scene with a debut album that challenges the average listener of pop music”), Soundvenue (“Matz has an incomparable span - always with impressive technical mastery and a penetrating expressiveness. If the vibrant production or the dynamic instrumentation wasn’t enough, Matz ensures that the music oozes life”), Danish radio P6 Beat, BBC Radio 6 Music, Worldwide FM, and many more.
Takykardia has received a lot of international attention e.g. airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music presented by Gilles Peterson and Lauren Laverne, on BBC Radio 1Xtra by Jamz Supernova, and Worldwide FM has labeled the band as 'One To Watch 2021' (Dan Blake).
Takykardia's long awaited sophomore album will be out in the autumn of 2025.
