Oh No Ono “Eggs” album on Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/album/3ReFD2hSiNcLMxpBp6U108

The press about “Eggs”:
“Oh No Ono’s new album, Eggs, is impressively bonkers and almost impossible to describe succinctly. It’s psychedelic, baroque, glammy, 70’s AM, with some synth pop and the occasional church choir thrown in. And very catchy stuff too.” – BROOKLYN VEGAN
“If Animal Collective can be credited with updating the Mercury Rev/Flaming Lips cosmic-pop template, then Oh No Ono blast it into the stratosphere on a rocket of precocious talent.” UNCUT
“Eggs is a seductive and dense confection of Beatlesque psychedelic wash, insistent melody and grandiose swirl” Mojo
“a treasure trove of baroque trivia. Eggs is admirably song-focused, and divested of any but the tastiest excesses” Pitchfork
“hauntingly glam, Arcade Fire-style orchestral bombast and the most polarising falsetto since Joanna Newsom” The Quietus
“psychedelica at its cinematic best” Filter
“Fantastical, experimental pop that knows no boundaries” Under The Radar

“Den danske kvintetten ”Oh No Ono” fra Aalborg ble dannet i 2003 og består av Malthe Fischer og Aske Zidore, begge på vokal og gitar, Kristoffer Rom Hansen på trommer og Nis Svoldgård på bass.
De ga ut sin første EP Now You Know Oh No Ono i februar 2005, og har siden den tid vært å regne som et utrolig innflytelsesrikt band på den danske musikkarena. De har blant annet vært kåret til ”årets gjennombruddsband” av dansk radio, og nominert som både beste band og beste nykommer i Danish Music Awards.
Musikken deres har blant annet blitt beskrevet som en blanding av gammelt og moderne både når det kommer til sound og produksjon. De skaper en miks av alternativ pop, funk og New Wave, og ”temmer en episk, kontrastfylt psykedelia og smir den om til små smykker av glimrende pop”. Paralleller har blant annet blitt trukket til MGMT, Flaming Lips og Caribou.
På deres siste album Eggs som de verdenslanserte i begynnelsen av året eksperimenterte bandet blant annet med innspilling på uvanlige steder som skoger, strender og forlatte fabrikklokaler.
Skal vi tro utallige bloggere og flere kritikere er dette et band du helst ikke vil gå glipp av. Bandet som har blitt omtalt av NME som “One of the most exciting things I’ve heard in ages. I’m a bit in love truth be told”.

Still early 90’s, Torske soon moved to Bergen. At this time he played synthesizer on Biosphere’s live shows, and toured around the world with Geir Jenssen. After releasing an album on Djax-Up-Beats in 1995 Torske concentrated on DJing for a couple of years, releasing only one single on Per Martinsen’s Love OD label. It did have a noticeable impact, though. «Fleet» became a club hit in Amsterdam, and was pumped regularly by DJs like Dimitri and Derrick May. Eventually Ferox-boss Russ Gabriel got to hear Torske’s music. He immediately phoned Torske, led to the release the album «Nedi Myra». The album caused quite a stir around the world. Back in Norway some of Bjørn’s fellow Tromsø-dwellers, like Röyksopp’s Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland moved to Bergen. New acts, clubs and labels were emerging in town, transforming the otherwise sleepy university town on Norway’s west coast to the hippest place to be. Meanwhile, Bjørn had started releasing singles through prestigious house label SVEK. In 1998 his friend Mikal Telle founded Tellé Records, and invited Bjørn to join in on the fun. Bjørn released «Disco Members» on Tellé in 2000 as well as taking take time off to release the brilliant «Aerosoles» on SVEK. In the same period Torske also produced his next album, Trøbbel on Telle Records, as well as remixing his friends and studiopartners Røyksopp`s first hit single “Eple”.

When Prins Thomas was asked the question “what is the most desirable signing if money grew on trees?” by Fact Magazine, his answer was; “if I could lure him out of his cave for a second I wouldn’t mind getting some new stuff from Bjorn Torske”

The album “Feil Knapp” (Norwegian for wrong button) released in 2007 – now on Smalltown Supersound – represented a sound that sits somewhere in between “Trøbbel”, “Nedi Myra” and the underground hit “Søppelmann”. With influences ranging everything from Count Ossie and The Residents via 22 Skidoo to Idjut Boys, Torske created once again his very own and characteristic signature sound, a unique blend of warm and melancholic house, quirky avant-disco, leftfield electronica and dark, heavy psychedelic dub. Weirdly melodic and wonderfully groovy.

October 2010 Bjørn Torske will release a new album, named Kokning – on Smalltown Supersound and offers more wierd disco from the great up-north.

2009 gikk for det meste med til studio og Astronaut Kraut!, men Hypertext tok seg også tid til å besøke Danmark, Tyskland, Luxemburg og Storbritannia til strålende kritikker fra publikum og promotører. I 2010 legger Hypertext ut på en omfattende norgesturnè.

Under årets by:Larm fikk Hypertext strålende omtaler, blant annet:
“Hypertext were in some ways a mess but in a good way: they reconciled jam-band tendencies with a 70s pop bounce. If I had a bar, I’d ask them to do a residency.” Matt McDonald, CMJ

“Gitarene gnurer, bølger, brummer og slår mot hverandre over en rumlende rytmeseksjon, og i dypet ligger det vi alle leter etter: gode, velkonstruerte låter.” Sven Ove Bakke, Dagbladet review 5/6

“HYPERTEXT har en mørkhet som jeg liker. Jeg var på Bylarm for å sjekke ut P3s Urørt-scene etter å ha funnet og Hypertext via Bylarm-siden.” Pelle Moeld, P3 Lab, Swedish P3″

Tidligere utgivelser:
Corrente Elektro (2007) – CD
Science Room (2008) (Alternative Trippin’, Emi Polen) – CD
Futuristic Box (2009) – Vinyl 7”hyper

That has been the discussion around many a smorgasbord. If you ask the boys if it was their love for cheesy handbag-house and dance, or the obsession with crunchy fucked up electronic sounds that started it all?

- You won’t get a straight answer, but maybe a stupid story like this:

The debut album to their big surprise, awarded them a nomination for best electronica album (Alarm; Norwegian Grammy). Digging their way thru piles of breadcrumbs, smelly cheeses and into the light, Ost & Kjex found people liking their music, but nobody really believed in their modus operandi, the exclusive use of food as sound source.

After weeks of no sleep, less drinking,menthol cigaretts, no music making, …and bad digestion they finally saw the light and came up with a new mantra :

«To Brie Or Not To Brie – That is the Queso !»

Since then the food boys has awoken, got their hands on some serious sounds and started shredding out tunes aiming at the dance floor.

In between liveshows and remixing the busy foodboys are working on their 2nd album.

Their love for electronic music still takes the boys wherever the cheese is fresh and the beats are crunchy, from the Reggiano Parmesan factory in Verona.. to your local waterhole. churning out theatrical performances or fucked-up live sets for the dance floor.

«Hastaluego manchego!»

Up Front Artists

Silver has had their commercial ups-and-downs, but they’ve seen wide acclaim in the Norwegian underground punk rock scene for a decade. The band’s debut album “White Diary” of 2004 marked a breakthrough in Norway with very good reviews and national radio airtime. This led to excessive touring around Europe, the United States, and Japan, as well as appearances at festivals across Scandinavia, such as at the Roskilde festival in Denmark and the Quart festival in Norway. Subsequently, the band went to the US in a somewhat naïve hope of connecting with some great producer and making a grandiose second album on American soil, but returned back home ambivalent of the entire record industry, disillusioned and bitter, dismissing an entire album only to record their much more dark and angry “World Against World” in one hectic week in 2006.

Two and a half years have passed and finally “Wolf Chasing Wolf” is out. This time the band has spent a lot more time in the studio further developing and refining their very original musical style. Partly staying true to their trademark sound with unexpected turns of guitar chords, aggressive lead vocals and infectious choruses, and partly ploughing new fields, adding to the compact punk rock sound influences from the nineties hardcore-scene as well as nodding in the direction of black metal.

“Wolf Chasing Wolf” affirms Silver’s position as one out of very few interesting and original, clear-minded acts to come out of the Scandinavian fog of delusion and self-righteousness, a real kick to the groin on blind conformity, homogenization and consumer mentality. Pick up your life and do something with it!
