After the band disbanded, she dived into the underground and founded dreampop-noir band Blake with whom she toured Europe and featured on various hip hop and club releases. In 2010 she formed the synth-pop duo Umatic with her brother Lukas Lunderskov and released the critically acclaimed album Ashes & Diamonds, which won a UMA and great attention from international blogs, such as Nordic By Nature, NME, Ja Ja Ja Music, Band Of The Day, All Scandinavian, Good because its Danish etc.She ventured into a darker electronic pop universe with her first solo release Nathav, which started as a Danish-language musical project based on piano, synthesizers and her voice. Disturbingly understated and enigmatic pop that balances on the edge of the abyss.
Like her debut, her new EP Moon River is produced by Noah Rosanes, who has worked with a wide range of artists and projects. The two go way back when their parents played together in the 70s disco vocal group Flair.
