HISSY, the solo project of Martin Grønne, emerges as a sonic exploration that bridges the artificial and the organic, blending electronic textures with classic songwriting. Known as the frontperson of Virgin Suicide, Grønne has already left his mark on the international music scene, with his band gaining critical acclaim and selling out shows across China. Now, with his own artistic venture, he continues to carve out a unique space, offering listeners a deeply personal and introspective experience.
Following his well-received debut single “SILENZIO,” HISSY returns with “OVERTHINKING,” the second release from his upcoming album DRAIN THE POOL, set for release in March 2025. The album is structured into four chapters, each tracing the journey of a person grappling with anxiety. “OVERTHINKING” captures the moment where intrusive thoughts take root, spiraling into an overwhelming cycle of self-doubt and unease. Grønne describes how the track reflects the unsettling power of overthinking—how a single thought can fester, growing into something far more sinister, ultimately gripping the chest like a snake.
Musically, “OVERTHINKING” channels the current influences that inspire Grønne, delivering an energetic and immersive sound. Its dynamic composition makes it an ideal addition to playlists, much like “SILENZIO,” which found its way onto multiple international playlists, including Spotify’s New Music Friday Denmark. The song embodies the tension between internal chaos and external control, a juxtaposition that runs throughout HISSY’s work.
Grønne explains that the song highlights how certain people or situations can trigger an endless loop of rumination, making even the most familiar surroundings feel strange and unrecognizable. The result is a track that resonates deeply with anyone who has felt trapped in their own mind, unable to break free from the weight of their thoughts.
As HISSY continues to evolve, Grønne brings a wealth of experience from his time with Virgin Suicide, a band that has graced stages at Roskilde Festival, Bylarm, The Great Escape, and Smukfest, among others. With DRAIN THE POOL, he is stepping into new territory, crafting a body of work that is as emotionally raw as it is sonically rich. “OVERTHINKING” is more than just a song—it’s a reflection of a state of mind, a moment of vulnerability that many will find all too familiar.
