Following the success of their early 2024 release ‘Worth It,’ The Hogstad Brothers are forging ahead with their newest experimental pop single, ‘Take Me Higher.’ As they inch closer to the release of their forthcoming album, Creatures in the Dirt, the duo showcase their inventive electronic soundscapes.
‘Take Me Higher’ bursts onto the airwaves with a groove-laden, synth-rich introduction, cementing itself as a track that is as exciting as it is vibrant. Infused with an unmistakable ‘80s nostalgia and a modern experimental edge, the single blends sticky melodies with innovative production, creating a genre-defying sonic experience.
Thematically, the track takes a deep dive into introspection. The Hogstad Brothers describe it as a song about self-examination, stating, “‘Take Me Higher’ is about looking in the mirror to ask oneself hard questions, then going all the way down the rabbit hole to get the answers.” This reflective and immersive approach is emblematic of the duo’s ability to craft music that is both intellectually stimulating and irresistibly danceable.
Hailing from Palmdale, California, The Hogstad Brothers are a powerhouse of songwriter-producer instrumentalists who bring immersive dance environments to life. Their live performances are a fusion of alluring soundscapes and interactive psychedelic projections, making each show a multi-sensory experience. Their journey took a pivotal turn in 2008 when they moved to New York, where they quickly made a name for themselves by forming bands and producing music that highlighted their eclectic influences and brotherly synergy. Their work with Flyer Learning, their previous band, earned them acclaim from Earmilk in 2018 for their self-titled EP.
