Masasolo started as a recording project for Morten Søgaard in 2015. While playing in other Copenhagen based bands he started to make his own songs as an outlet for musical experimentation, as well as a personal diary of the joys and pains of everyday life. 

After posting one of the songs online things started to go fast for the band, that by then didn’t even have a name. Following the death of Han Solo in “The force awakens” (2015) Morten decided on becoming his predecessor and named the band Masasolo. 

In 2015 he released the EP “Breakup” and got heavy rotation on US national radio station KCRW, they’ve were featured on Hype Machine’s top 50 and blogs like Hillydilly and Indie Shuffle and they played the legendary Roskilde Festival, UK blog Jajaja even picked Masasolo as one of 5 danish bands to keep an eye on. 

In 2017 they released their first full length album “At Sixes and Sevens” which dealt with the pains and strains of being a dreamer entering adulthood. The album brought them a greater status and took them touring around Europe. Danish magazine Soundvenue picked the album as one of the 20 best Danish albums of 2017.

The band's third album “Bridges” was released October 2019. This was again critically acclaimed and recieved extensive airplay on Danish national radio P6 Beat.

”Det er legesygt, eksperimenterende og indbydende, men når alt kommer til alt altså også bare god pop, poppede hallucinationer, der godt kan give fornemmelsen af at ryge for langt ud og forsvinde ind i et sort hul.”

Gaffa

"Søgaard og Co. har nemlig udregnet en effektiv rute igennem den neon-belyste synthezeiser-pops landskaber, og resultatet er, at både band og lytter belønnes med adgang til genrens brede palet af mulige stemninger, nuancer og potentiale for eksperimenteren.”

Bands of Tomorrow

"Det virker som om musikstrømmen kommer helt naturligt, at produceringen er blevet til over natten og at det bare flyder med musikalsk kreativitet overalt i Søgaards hoved."

Soundvenue

"Danske Masasolo beviser sit musikalske værd med en distinkt lyd, der ikke lader os i tvivl om, at de er kommet for at blive. ‘At Sixes and Sevens’ er en yderst vellykket musikalsk raketfart ud i galaksen fyldt med storladen, smuk spacepop og et mere vedkommende og modent tekstunivers."

POV International

"Masasolo er med Søgaard i front et lysende og yderst charmerende popgeni... Musikken bliver et anker i et uroligt hav.”
