Oslo-based synthpop artist Headbase is back with a shimmering new single, “Endorphins” — a track that feels like a euphoric rush through the veins. From the first few seconds, you can sense the artist’s deep fascination with sound design. Every synth swell, pulse, and texture feels deliberate yet organic, like an electronic heartbeat syncing with the listener’s own rhythm.
What’s striking about “Endorphins” is how personal it feels, despite its electronic backbone. You can tell this is a self-made project — the details are intimate, the kind you only get when an artist handles every layer themselves. The track explores how our emotions are often guided by invisible forces — hormones — shaping our behavior and mood in ways we can’t always control. True to its title, “Endorphins” encapsulates that fleeting, blissful high: the calm after chaos, the smile after tears, the light after a storm.
This single is also a glimpse into Headbase’s upcoming EP, where each song will represent a different hormone. If “Endorphins” is any indication, the full project promises to be an introspective yet sonically adventurous journey through the human experience.
Headbase captures the invisible chemistry of emotion with synth-driven precision — ‘Endorphins’ is both a scientific reflection and a soulful release
