EXCLUSIVE: Watch Lokisfollyband's new music video for 'Beaches and Peaches,' and learn about their Minneapolis roots, inspirations, and more. 🎶
On a below-freezing Friday night in north Minneapolis, Minnesota, a trio of close-knit siblings are clustered on one side of a booth to talk about their debut album. Loki’s Folly, based in south Minneapolis, is a band of two sisters and a brother: Annie, 21, on guitar and vocals; Nissa, 16, on drums and vocals; and Oskar, 12, on bass.
Formed after Nissa and Annie got the attention of local pro musicians like Soul Asylum while taking guitar lessons, Loki’s Folly have worked on these songs going back as far as 2017 in some cases. Their first show was five years ago, on Annie’s 16th birthday. The siblings are steeped in Minneapolis’s music scene, a producer of icons across pop but just as much so rock music, as Loki’s Folly’s points of reference highlight.
The band’s sound recalls Bikini Kill and Nirvana, clearly influenced by grunge at a moment when America’s most exciting alternative band is . The shrieking on “Little Mermaid” would make Kathleen Hanna proud. “Don’t Come Back,” one of the synthier tracks, reminds me of-era Yeah Yeah Yeahs. After agreeing with the first two comparisons, Annie continues, “I think a lot of local Minneapolis punk scene definitely had a very big influence, especially with some of the earlier legends in the area, like Husker Du, Babes in Toyland, the Replacements, all really really struck a chord with us.
