Inspired by 60s and 80s vibes, crushes and burgers, FLTY BRGR GRL (pronounced "filthy burger girl") are a quirky Oslo-based duo composed of Namra Beatrix Saleem + Sarah Christin Calvert who make moody and teenage heartsick garage pop. Their sophomore album Happily Ever Never was released this past September and it carries a magnetic melodic streak as it bounces between fuzzy guitar-driven jams to dreamy synth-pop fare while lyrically encapsulating the spectrum of post-breakup emotions.

For their exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World, FLTY BRGR GRL have put together a set that blends lo-fi sounds and dreamy bedroom pop and features artists who have inspired them because of their punk attitude and self-confidence.
