Rytmeklubben

Sounds From Norway

Oslo's Brilliance Records and Jansen Plateproduksjon present some of the best band names all week. A veteran of the Norwegian scene, Torgeir Waldemar's brand of folk and Americana is a critical favorite, having been nominated for one of his country's Grammys. A relatively new project headed up by Bergen-based producer Lucas de Almeida, the trio called Living makes dream pop with creative beats. Also from Bergen, Electric Eye enjoys international success for mixing Sixties psychedelia and Seventies progressive rock. Norway's premier garage band, Moss-based quartet Death by Unga Bunga (DBUB) just released their fourth opus, Pineapple Pizza. A group of four club music producers from Trondheim, Rytmeklubben lays claims to being one of the most talked about electronic boy bands of the year.
