THE RETURN OF BJØRN TORSKE!

Yes! Bjørn Torske returns with a killer album titled “Feil Knapp” (Wrong Button in Norwegian) the 12th of January 2007. We have just heard the album and it rocks! Filled with typical Torske dub, some quirky electronica, some disco, some weirdness. But so melodic. So wonderful. And so Bjorn Torske! Fans of his other great albums “Nedi Myra” and “Trøbbel” will love this one. The 22nd of January we will release another 12″ titled “Kokt Kveite”. Before this Torske will tour Japan (see live dates). And in 2007 there will be lots of touring. More info soon.

LINDSTRØM: GREAT PITCHFORK TRACK REVIEW
September 5, 2006Comments Off
Here Green recycles a few scraps of melody from Lindstrøm’s cinematic, slow-burning “Pesto Og Kolera”– smart nips and tucks that don’t revamp the original, just punch it up and make it better. He rubberizes the scrawny bassline, sneaks in a darting guitar, then hangs a swank filigree of live keys. All the while a lonely shaker snakes through the whole affair. Common to both remixer and remixed, a cocktail of groove and grandeur provides the glue. Ornate prog flourishes cool down the smoldering dirty disco groundwork. Radiating electricity and lust, the remix completes the bridge between Studio 54 and the Eighteenth Street Lounge. Hard to believe Green started with Scandinavian blueprints. (4/5, PITCHFORK)
