Kaja Gunnufsen er ute med ny singel "Høst" 11. Oktober, denne gangen har hun fått med seg Handerre Linni fra Yoguttene. Hennes debutalbumet slippes 31. Januar. 

25 år gamle Kaja Gunnufsen fra Oslo er en låtskriver som skiller seg ut med
sine ufiltrerte, direkte, ironiske og tidvis triste tekster skrevet på norsk. Kaja
gir folkpop-sjangeren et nytt og spennende ansikt der hun leker seg fritt med
musikalske harmonier og lyriske gullkorn.

Kaja har fått mye oppmerksomhet den siste tiden for hennes direkte tekster og spilte konserter på Slottsfjell og Øyafestivalen i sommer. 


Kaja Gunnufsen - Høst (feat. Handerre Linni)

Helt siden Norge fikk dilla på Sansen og Reint Mel(i påsen din) har Tôg lagt lista høyt for det som skal komme. De har også møtt forventningene: Tôg har gjort god figur på by:Larm og spilt på SXSW. De har til og med fått ungdomsdrømmen oppfylt da de var på MTV! Gode kritikker har heller ikke uteblitt: Blant annet trillet Lydverket en femmer og påsto:”...live gjør Tôgs dansbare og høyst organiske elektropop lite annet enn å spre tonnevis med varm glede. Og dans. Og latter.”

 Siden debutplata Drøm kom ut høsten 2011, har bandet jobbet iherdig med nytt materiale. Tôgs nye plate skal hete Feiring, og fra de som har hørt det nye materialet er det visstnok en skamløs leken fest som venter oss, med New-York disco, norsk disco, 80-talls boogie/funk og innslag av 90-talls R`n`b som stikkord for destinasjoner bandet vil ta oss til.

Så langt har de sluppet boogie/disco/funk perlen "Når Me Våkne Opp Imårå" og space-disco/deephouse låten "Maridalen" for å vise noe av spekteret som kommer på Feiring. Platen er skrevet og produsert av Lars Christian Olsen sammen med Ådne Meisfjord som også har bidratt på låtskriverfronten. Miksingen står Eric Broucek kjent fra å ha jobbet med bl.a. LCD Soundsystem, Holy Ghost, !!! m.fl.

Kaja Gunnufsen fra Ås er en låtskriver som skiller seg ut med sine ufiltrerte, direkte, ironiske og tidvis triste tekster skrevet på norsk. Kaja gir folkpop-sjangeren et nytt og spennende ansikt der hun leker seg fritt med musikalske harmonier og lyriske gullkorn.
Kaja skriver delikate tekster som reflekterer tankene til en tilsynelatende ensom ung jente. Historiene pakkes inn i drømmende pianoakkorder og myk gitar. Kaja klarer å fange publikum ikke bare med hennes uskyldige og karakteristiske stemme og fine melodier, men også gjennom sitt nærvær og sjarm på scenen sammen med sitt band.

Lanseringen av hennes debutalbum ”Faen Kaja” begynte allerede i starten av 2013 med den vakre singelen ”Au” som ble årets første Ukas Urørt. Etter å ha spilt noen imponerende off-by:Larm konserter ble hun tilbudt spillejobber på både Slottsfjell og Øyafestivalen. Hennes andre singel, "Desp" ble listet på P3 i løpet av våren og sommeren. Sangen er nå nominert til "Årets hit" av musikkmagasinet Gaffa.

Høsten 2013 dro Kaja på Norgesturné, og var aktuell med singelen ”Høst” hvor Handerre Linni fra Yoguttene har gjesteopptreden. Den siste tiden har Kaja brukt til å ferdigstille debutalbumet i samarbeid med produsent Kenneth Ishak (Beezwax, Heyerdahl). ”Faen Kaja” slippes på 12” vinyl 7.mars 2014 på Brilliance Records.

Brilliance and Dumont Dumont presents Faux by Novo Amor & Ed Tullett.

«Indie-folk perfection» - Hillydilly
«Pretty Stunning» - Indie Shuffle

Novo Amor and Ed Tullett first crossed paths in November 2013, at the Newport date of Ed’s UK tour. After showing an immediate appreciation for each other’s work, Ed, based in Brighton, spent December at Novo Amor (Ali Lacey)’s Cardiff home-studio, writing a record’s worth of material.

Recorded in March and self-produced by the pair in Cardiff, ‘Faux’ is the first realization of their collaborative talent, a swirling combination of their stunning falsettos, giant acoustic swells, and cryptic lyrics. The single, to be released via Norway-based label Brilliance Records, and Dumont Dumont, home to RY X, is an addictive alternative-folk behemoth.

Ed Tullett is currently putting final touches to his new record, ‘Fiancé’, a dark, electronic departure to his early acoustic work, after having remixes of Bon Iver (released on Spotify on the Bon Iver Stems Project album) and Local Natives shared by the bands themselves. 

Novo Amor’s ‘Woodgate, NY’ EP was released in March via Brilliance to rave reviews (6/6 – GAFFA, 8/10 – The 405), after premiering on The Line Of Best Fit. 

Their collaboration is the start of something bigger, as they prepare to write further and look to crafting a full record later in the year.

Brilliance Records is a small indie label out of Bergen, Norway. The label’s focus is to discover and present new brilliant music.

Dumont Dumont is a label based in Stockholm, Sweden. Australian artist RY X was the first artist to be released on the label.

Faux, by Novo Amor & Ed Tullett, will be released via Brilliance / Dumont Dumont on 23rd June.

Novo Amor & Ed Tullett - Faux

Slaughter Beach a new young Danish trio, playing nostalgic and dreamy indie pop-rock topped with catchy synths. The band is seducing their listeners with spaced-out vocals and crackling guitars overlay countless riffs with incredible sticking power.
The band is based in their hometown, Odense, however their sound is no way near this small Danish city. 

Not surprisingly, did NME, Line of Best Fit, Pigeons & Planes and more important music magazines pick up Slaughter Beachs first two songs on soundcloud. 
In the same internationally manner, the band made their live debut in Gothenburg, Sweden, and followed up playing at Canadian Music Week in Toronto, before they return to Denmark to play Roskilde Festival this summer.

The band, Hasse, Nikolaj and Mads, are not rushing things, despite of the hype. Instead they have moved into their studio in Odense, where they use most of their time on: eating, sleeping and making new songs.  Slaughter Beachs debut EP “Love Venice” is to be released 19th of September on Brilliance Records.

Picked as "The Hottest Brand New Act" at By:larm 2016 by NME:
"With the youthful naivety of ‘Leisure’-era Blur and catchy pop hooks ripped straight from Two Door Cinema Club, teenage prodigy Magnus Bechmann has the look and the tunes to go real far."

20 year old Magnus Bechmann from Sandvika has already begun his pursuit of a musical career. Last year he was listed on Norwegian National Radio NRK P3 with his debut-single "Keep On Playing Nice". The single was listed for 15 weeks.
Inspired by artists like Sondre Lerche, Dan Croll and Dirty Projectors he writes captivating pop music full of catchy melodies and guitar hooks.

The new single, Running Off, is produced by Erlend Mokkelbost (Montee, Mikhael Paskalev, Bow To Each Other)

Magnus Bechmann - Running Off

Living - Risen

Living may be easy but Living just happens to be busy and especially now that they’ve started in 2016. The prolific work and serendipitous energy behind Living’s founder Lucas de Almeida has arranged him and his band of Norwegian and American artists Nora Tårnesvik, Sturla Kverneng, and James Kalinoski in the musician’s paradise of Bergen and has manifested them some folkloric status as well as a partnership with Bergen’s Brilliance Records. Fate decided to award Living the opportunity to gently kiss European and American fans in 2016 with a tour of the Czech Republic, Øya festivalen,  a showcase at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas and a Pacific Northwest United States tour. Now while preparing for months of seclusion and darkness Living offers their self titled ep which is filled with the warm gift of sun and grooves that will keep you busy dancing inside. 

By listening to this EP we get a glimpse of the journey that Living is on. It all starts with Risen where we are wrapped in the sunniness of Living as it slowly builds and takes off. Then we get a blast of the cool Cerulean in its bold and colorful trip pop atmosphere. Anticipation builds and then Apples and Oranges unravels an ancestral rhythm which underlines the Living dream groove sound. Dropping us onto Intuition which is a song from a sensual and nightmarish action film. This adventurous EP carefully concludes on A Light where we are soothed in its oceanic bliss like a kiss goodbye. Overall the success of Living is in its composition of beautiful melodic samples and soulful worldly rhythms.

Tekst:
flygende svevende og stupende
det kjennes ut som om vi er de siste levende
de eneste som kom seg løs

vold med innhold åpner øyne med blindvold
ser ut i verden med bind foran
stirrer rett i lyset mens de skyter i Paris
går rundt i Bergen med bind foran

men aldri vi

varmeste korteste og våteste
vi er blitt sånn som vinteren som oftest er
rundt om her

vold med innhold åpner øyne med blindvold
ser ut i verden med bind foran
stirrer rett i lyset mens de skyter i Paris
går rundt i Bergen med bind foran

men aldri vi
eg lukker aldri øynene rundt deg
men aldri vi
men aldri vi
eg lukker aldri øynene rundt deg
men aldri vi
alle øynene på deg
men aldri vi
eg lukker aldri øynene rundt deg
men aldri vi

Nylenda  is  set  to  release  their  fourth  single  Fires  Light 2. November  at  Eget  Selskap/Brilliance.  Fires  Light  might  be  their  most  ambitious  release  yet,  through  6  minutes  they  take  you  on  a  full-fledged  journey  through  their  universe  of  psychedelic  pop,  space  disco  and  krautrock.  The  lyrics  are  partly  inspired  by  a  dream  sequence  from  the  cult  TV-show  Twin  Peaks.  The  music  overlay  this  slight  surrealistic  and  dreamy  mood,  where  the  progression  of  the  song  takes  unexpected  twists  and  turns  along  the  way.  The  Norwegian  trio  nylenda  serves  up  a  danceable  mix  of  psychedelic  pop  and  electronic  music.  Using  an  all  hardware  set-up  of  analog  synths,  drum  machines,  organ,  bass  and  guitar,  nylenda  has  created  an  idiosyncratic  sound  that  is  both  fresh  and  catchy.    Since  the  release  of  their  first  single  "Burning  Eyes" in  the  fall  of  2017  nylenda  has  put  them  self  on  the  map  of  Norway  ́s  music  scene,  playing  at  the  by:Larm  festival  2018  where  they  were  granted  a  song  writing  scholarship  from  NOPA  (Norwegian  Society  of  Composers  and  Lyricists),  Vill  Vill  Vest  festival  2018,  and  Liveurope  Festival  Oslo  that  presented  some  of  the  most  exciting  new  acts  from  Scandinavia  to  bookers  across  Europe.    

QUOTES
”nylenda's  debut  single  is  a  stunning  introduction  to  their  world  (...)An  insistent  electronic  pulse  reminiscent  of  the  likes  of  Harmonia  and  Neu!  combines  with  a  percussive  groove  and  psychedelic  vocals,  bringing  together  '60s  looseness  and  '70s  rigidity.  The  effect  is  for  "Burning  Eyes"  to  be  a  track  which  you  can  equally  imagine  being  at  home  in  a  studio  surrounded  by  antiquated  recording  devices  as  it  would  being  blasted  out  at  a  club.  Sure,  it's  meticulously  crafted,  but  it's  also  danceable  as  hell”.
– The  Line  Of  Best  Fit  

“The  hardware  set-up  that  meets  me  when  I  enter  the  venue  looks  like  something  that  could  have  sent  the  Apollo  11  to  the  moon.  Behind  the  wall  of  synthesizers,  wires  and  knobs  three  bearded  men  are  about  to  take  us  on  a  musical  journey  through  four  decades.  Psychedelic  guitars,  synth  pop,  space  disco,  techno  and  acid  are  mixed  together  with  a  bright  vocal  that  sets  a  dreamy  mood  in  venue.  I  ́m  thinking  this  is  some  incredible  funky  stuff,  and  I  have  to  put  down  my  notebook  to  dance”.

Tôg (Stavanger, Norway)
Meet Norwegian horror-house pop act Tôg – sizzling synthesizers, 60′s combo organs, arpeggio swirls and thumping, italo-house beats. Beginning through a chance encounter, lead-man Lars Christian Olsen and his room mate would conduct “disturbing” sessions of electronic music experimentation using laptop synthesizers and a newly purchased Farifsa organ. But as luck will have it with true musical genius, the two came to produce “Sansen” – a massive Summer hit in Norway.

Joining forces with trusted friends and fellow musicians, Olsen began experimenting with various noises, perfecting and shaping the signature Tôg sound. Playing a string of shows across Norway, as well as national television and the highly reputable Hove-Festival, the bands’ popularity in their home country continued to rise – playing packed clubs, dancing on couches, tables, barcounters and speakers.
