MGMT: geir@made.no

Siblings always have a special bond; it’s a kind of sixth sense, something that provides something that nothing else can. For five Norwegian guys in their late teens, born and raised in the buzzing city of Bergen and oscillating around one familial spine, a labour of passion and instinct has formed something very special.

Norway is evocative. Musically, culturally, there is a sense of difference. The Well are without a doubt special. Influenced by everything from Arcade Fire and HAIM to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, their bond formed early, leading them to start a band in 2006. Fast forward a couple of years and they are playing gigs in London, Bergen and Oslo, opening for the Irish band The Script among others.

The Well are now ready to release their second single «Sierra» on September 4th, a big, electronic pop-tune filling both the biggest arenas and the most intimate of club spaces.
