HighasaKite make songs unlike most things yet to come out of Norway. Pop music with a twist. Let's start in Brooklyn. Via Monrovia to Piraeus and Norwegian mountaintops on to Stockholm.
Irresistible soundscapes full of tasty hooks and mysterious stories, musicians from some of Norways best young bands and then some – Highasakite is undoubtably one of the most original and exciting indiebands you’ve come across in a while.
Keyboards, zither, pounding drums and the occasional noise guitar together with Ingrid Helene's distinctive voice makes a delicious blend of exciting indie pop inspired by artists such as Lykke Li and the movie Where The Wild Things Are.
Highasakite's debut album "All That Floats Will Rain" has received rave reviews throughout the Norwegian press, some even calling it album of the year (Dagbladet) and saying that "No song on this album is redundant, it's all brilliantly brought to life. This, ladies and gentlemen, is pop music!"
Highasakite is playing many of Norways biggest and most important festivals this summer, amonst them Øya and Hove, in support of their debut album 'All That Floats Will Rain', out February 3rd 2012, on Norwegian indie label Riot Factory.

Since Last Wednesday
Highasakite Lyrics
He would never do grafitti or vandalize that house
And he would never be caught spray painting on those peoples walls
But no one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday
But no one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday
Oh oh oh oh
And he would never buy a weapon and bring it to our home
And he would never be foolish and lie about that now
But no one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday
But no one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
But no one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday
But no one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday
Hold me forward is one option but not the only one
But no one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday
But no one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday
But no one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday
Call me forward is one option but not the only one
But no one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

My thoughts on meaning...The progression of the lyrics seems to point to trust, skepticism and curiosity.
1) He would NEVER do graffiti...(Trust)
2) But then again "He would NEVER be caught vandalizing" (Skepticism)
3) Hmmm..."No one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday" (Curiosity)
Personal example
1) "He would NEVER bring a gun to our home..."
2) But if he did "He wouldn't be so foolish to lie about it now" (personal validation)
3) Hmmm..."No one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday" (Curiosity
The gun seems to have been a point of contention in their relationship. His lack foolishness is not credit to his own character but in her anger attributing a character she hopes he has(he better not!)
"Hold me forward...call me forward"...her trust dwindles. You can do things your way, but it's not the only way.
There seems to be an air of mystery surrounding this man but the story teller seems to be the one confused about his motives. Feels she can trust/knows him and what he would or wouldn't do. Is he good or up to no good? Is this the man I know?...the only confirmation to her suspicions is...
"No one has seen or heard from him since last Wednesday"
He seems to have been dealing with an inner turmoil that he's yet to express to her. At the end of the video we see that he goes back to her in plain view of what/who he is after what seems to be deliberate contemplation...she accepts him for who she now sees he is. But all may not be behind him as the story continues with the other masked men coming up the elevator...exposing the depth of his escapades since last Wednesday
