Thea & The Wild signs with us in Fysisk Format for the release of her third album "Deadheading" which will be released october 7th 2022. The first single from the album is out now!
After moving to a rural environment in the Hurum peninsula, the urban, Nordic pop synth focused sound on her previous album, a new sound emerges, where Thea embraces her guitar and the ambience of rural Norway in her new single "Little Sister" from the upcoming album.
Thea says:
- I wanted to give my sister the encouragement to go out into the world with self confidence and courage, but at the same time it’s hard to give advice when we live in such a chaotic world. I envisioned holding a little bird in my hands and sort of sending it into the air on its first flight, with a «good luck on your way».

With the self-taught musician’s intuitive feeling for melody, Thea Glenton Raknes creates songs which linger and keep returning to one’s mind. With her debut as Thea & The Wild in 2014, she received brilliant response and acclaim, and was nominated to a Norwegian Grammy in the Indie category. When her second album “Ikaros“ was released in 2018, Rolling Stone Magazine highlighted it as one of 10 albums to stream, and NME wrote:
"Having quietly released one of 2018’s most impressive
debuts with ‘Ikaros’, Thea & The Wild offer the kind of
fist-clenching, abandon-free arena power-pop that Florence + The
Machine‘s latest effort was lacking in. Imagine the open-road arena
anthemics of Fleetwood Mac with the slick R&B edge of early Haim,
and throw in the synthy showboating of Chvrches and you’ve got a rough
sense of what this dark horse has to offer."
