There is an intricate and attentive blend of sounds on this track, creating a very free, open, and vulnerable environment. Combined with detailed and relatable lyrics, sixten has entranced their audience and carried them through the emotional journey that is ‘Atlantic.’
This song is a perfect fit for anyone experiencing the unclear and confusing sides of love— the ones stuck in a loop and wishing to break free of the back and forth. “You’d think I learn my lesson, it’s been a year or two / But all of my obsessions, they’re pointing straight at you.”
Swedish duo sixten has a bright future ahead, with ‘Atlantic’ being just one song off of their newest EP, ‘Misemotional.’ Siblings Tova and Sigge Strandell are the two masterminds behind this piece, with the aid of Johan Lindbrandt, the producer of this EP.
