Highasakite is an indie pop and rock band from Norway, formed in 2012 by Ingrid Helene Håvik and Trond Bersu. The duo quickly gained success with their debut album, winning the Spellemanspris "Newcomer of the year" award in 2012. Over time, Highasakite expanded to a five-piece band but faced a bitter conflict in 2017 that led to a legal battle over the ownership of the band's name. Marthe Eberson, Øystein Skaar, and Kristoffer Lo felt they were forced out of the band during this process. Today, Håvik and Bersu continue to record as a duo under the Highasakite name.

With influences from artists like Susanne Sundfør, Bendik, and Frida Ånnevik among others, Highasakite creates captivating music that combines elements of indie pop and rock. Their unique sound has garnered them a dedicated fan base both in Norway and internationally.

Experience the enchanting melodies and heartfelt lyrics of *Highasakite* as they continue to create beautiful music that resonates with audiences around the world.

Uranium Heart is the ‘most Highasakite record’ yet. A process started soon after the touring cycle forCamp Echo, Ingrid explains, “We started to record Uranium Heart early in 2017. The songwriting is a continuous process with some old songs and some brand new. It has been a long process of trying to find songs I am truly happy with, and to write them without trying to fulfil every criteria on how to make a good pop record. The aim was to be able to write without other people’s wishes in the back of my mind and daring to follow your own vision and taste. It’s a hard process when so many people are relating to music as some sort of a commission.”
