All things considered, Åsa Söderqvist had a pretty productive 2020. Despite having to cut short an American tour leading up to that year’s aborted SXSW, Söderqvist’s Shitkid project still managed to produce a total of four releases in 2020, which seemed to suggest a similar momentum moving into 2021. Sadly, that was not the case, and as it turns out, Shitkid’s upcoming album Sort Stjerne! (out June 11 on PNKSLM Recordings) will be their last.
While I’m disappointed that I won’t get another chance to see Shitkid stir things up in concert again, there is something to be said for going out on your own terms and if lead single “runt på stranden” is any indication, Shitkid is ending things off on a strong note.
