Galimatias (born Matias Saabye Køedt)^[1] is a Danish electronic music artist from the small town of Fredericia, currently based in Los Angeles.^[2] He is best known for his 2015 EP Urban Flora, with American singer-songwriter Alina Baraz.

Career

Galimatias began working with Alina Baraz after they were introduced to each other through SoundCloud in 2013, and their songs immediately received blog attention. Their collaborations were collected on an eight-song EP titled Urban Flora, which was released digitally by Ultra Records in 2015, with a vinyl release by Mom + Pop following in 2016. Felix Jaehn's remix of their song "Fantasy" appeared on many dance compilations. Following its release, publications such as The Fader, NPR, Earmilk, Dancing Astronaut, and The Huffington Post praised the album.^[3][4][5]

On 15 June 2017, Galimatias released the single "Let Me Know". In an interview with Complex, Galimatias stated "I haven't released anything for two years but that didn't mean I stopped making music. I tuned out from social media for a year as well and people started sending me messages asking if I was still alive. I'm definitely not dead, but I don't ever want to create the same sound twice, and it took a good while for me to figure out what I wanted to do after Urban Flora. I have a lot of criteria for myself when I make music, and creating something that hasn't been heard before is definitely one of the highest ranking ones."^[2]
