LET’S BE LIGHT
Children of the 80s!
The hype around Norway’s electronic duo Let’s be Light gets bigger and bigger as they’ve been touring with their energetic live band around Norway. Let's be Light is a mix of heavy beats and harmonies, voices, sounds, songs, thoughts and lightning moods. You can easily let yourself be misled by this music, colored by synths and beats from times back. Let's be Light knows exactly how they want to put their flashbacks, while directing the attention purposefully forward in a playful musical landscape. 

The band got a lot of attention around their debut EP in November 2011. “Man” was awarded Untouched Song of the Week on Norwegian national broadcaster NRK radio in February 2012, as well as being playlisted on NRK’s radio. Since then, the electropop duo teamed with BISI Music releasing several singles. The duo was nominated for “Lutt” Award 2012 in NRK and was in 2013 picked to play at this year Blast as one of Norway's most promising bands.

DEBUT ALBUM: After spending time in an artist center in Vilnius and in the small village Rognes, Norway; Let’s be Light have managed to compose a brilliant synth pop album packed with nostalgia and light melancholia. You’ll meet yourself, life, death, nature and the city, in a mix of feelings and moods. If pop-happiness is a feeling, this is what you get!

Det lysner av flyktig og fornuftig galskap! Let’s be Light smeller videre med tunge beats blandet inn med lekre harmonier, stemmer, klanger, sanger, tanker og lette stemninger. Vi kommer inn - og vi blir DER!
Musikken kan karakteriseres som synthbastert popmusikk med klare referanser til 80- og 90-tallet. Selv om mange av låtene har et lett melankolsk preg, spenner musikken seg fra rolig elektronisk pop til fengende disco, og videre til støyklanger.
Let’s be Light dukket senhøsten 2011 opp av underflaten for å berike verden med herlig og fengende synthpop. Eksperimentering og utforsking av forskjellige musikalske uttrykk hadde resultert i en EP som raskt fikk mye positiv oppmerksomhet:

UKAS URØRT med låten "Man":
“Let’s be Light leker seg med synther og skaper et kontrastfylt univers fylt av nostalgi, kulde og varme på samme tid. Velprodusert, lekker elektronika som får blodet til å bruse lengselsfullt i årene” (www.nrk.no/urort).

FURORE I HARARE har beskrevet bandet nærmest som en skjult skatt:
“Det finnes mye godt som aldri kommer skikkelig ut. Så sant som det er sagt. I mylderet av all musikken som kommer ut er det noen band som ikke får den oppmerksomheten de fortjener. Let’s be Light er et av disse” (www.furoreiharare.com).

NORSKMUSIKK.ORG beskriver musikken til Let’s be Light som fengende med herlige musikalske krumspring som er så vakkert at frysningen er et faktum. Og ut fra slike gode ord har de gitt EPen en 5er!!! (http://www.norskmusikk.org/).


Sgrow consists of Vilde Nupen and Kristoffer Lislegaard, whose experimental electronic music is a new and exciting addition to the Norwegian electronica scene. The Oslo-based duo’s fondness for pop, club music and contemporary classic music forms the basis for an interesting and distinctive approach to sound processing and song structure. Sgrow make music that will capture your heart, move your mind and your feet, with nods to Björk, FKA Twigs, Aphex Twin and Nicolas Jaar. 
Their debut album, Terrors and Ecstasies, was released in February 2015 on the independent record label No Forevers. The duo has spent the last year in Toronto, producing a mini album series entitled Circumstance, the first of which will be released on November 10th. 

«What makes it stand out from every other Nordic act currently making electronic music is the deeply soulful voice of Nupen; her range is spectacular, almost gothic in tone and can go from smoky and breathy to a roar in a matter of moments.» - The Line of Best Fit

«Shattering the slick, downtempo electro-pop of their previous singles, Sgrow refashion the remains into a pulsating mosaic of butchered beats and crunching bass, while retaining the pleasing sheen of Vilde Nupen’s vocals. It is, quite frankly, a banger that cements Sgrow’s status as one of Norway’s most exciting new musical exports» - Musicmap on 'Feel Something'

«There must be something in the air in Norway that urges local musicians to create exquisite, cutting-edge music. Sgrow, with their latest single 'Feel Something', are but another proof of that» - Nordic by Nature
