SCAM share ritualistic new single ‘See Feel Touch Die’

SCAM, the electro-pop project of Icelandic composers and music producers Herdís Stefánsdóttir and Salka Valsdóttir that got booked for Roskilde Festival after their debut live show at Iceland Airwaves last year, have just released their second single, ‘See Feel Touch Die.’ It expands on the template established on their electric debut single, ‘Mentally Gone.’

The song was written during a series of earthquakes in Iceland that caused the musicians to feel uneasy but also strangely excited. These feelings ultimately led them to write ‘See Feel Touch Die,’ a song that feels both ritualistic, suspenseful and exciting: a testament to the relentlessness of mother nature in both her repetition and unpredictability.

Stefánsdóttir had written lyrics during a visit in Los Angeles where she experienced extreme droughts and wild fires – lyrics which Valsdóttir felt inspired by and ultimately used as building blocks for the song’s lyrical content.

SCAM explores these themes through a hypnotic yet playful bassline, tight percussion and modular flares. The song feels like a train ride that keeps you locked in through out it’s many twists and turns.
