(Synthpop / New Wave) [WEB] Sally Dige - Forget Me / Losing You (EP) - 2013, FLAC (tracks), lossless

Sally Dige is a canadian musician currently based in Berlin.
Sally Dige Jørgensen is a multi-disciplinary artist, designer and performer. Daughter of a South African-born (Canadian raised) visual-artist mother, and a Danish farmer father, it was growing up in this culture collision of New World values contrasting with old-country sensibility that have sculpted her artistic practice and is the inspiration for her work. It is this paradox of contrast, such as the meshing of minimalism and chaos, simplicity and decadence, seriousness and humour that she strives for.
Her passion for learning and creating has led her to explore and experience a multitude of different mediums and crafts; reaching out to both traditional and unexpected sources to further broaden her scope. (c)

Statuesque Vancouverite Sally Dige is emblematic of a restless spirit flitting in and out of view, an apparition just out of reach.
On "Forget Me"the idea of self is brought into focus then blurred as Dige intones a haunted hymn to self-erasing. Over an emotionally wrought 4 mins, post-punk bass lines and moody synth-leads edge the author into willed obscurity from view. On the edges of the song are hints at a fractured, fragile character: "I'd rather go alone / and not be missed by anyone." Is it auto-biographical? Or a character impeccably acted? On the other side "Losing You" proves that Sally Dige never gives too much away. Here she wears the mask of a jaded lover watching the physical and moral collapse of someone once loved, confronted with something unrecognisable. Melding an Italo Disco skeleton with dark analogue synths, in many ways the music is similarly an eroded form once recognised, now perverted into a propulsive, strange new language. (c)
