SPOT Festival 2018

Medicine

It’s time for another debutant at Jansen Plateproduksjon, and we’re proud of presenting Hajk as the newest member of our family. The Oslo band have so far released three singles, and their de-but album will finally be let loose on the masses during spring 2017.

But relax, there will be more music from the band before that time. Their single «Common Sense» have been played at various radio stations during the past months, and the band are finally ready to release their new single, the “complete” pop song, «Magazine».

Considering that they’re such a fresh band, Hajk have been surprisingly quick to adjust them-selves. Not long after they entered the door to their rehearsal space, they played at Slottsfjellfesti-valen, Øyafestivalen and by:Larm. They were listed on radio before they left the stage at those festivals, and now they’re here – with a brand-new record contract and a brace of songs that any band would be jealous of. 

Hajk are fronted by Preben Sælid Andersen and Sigrid Aase, who share the vocals. Musical-ly, Hajk are situated in a modern pop/rock landscape, with an emphasis on very strong melodies. The band are influenced by artists like Dirty Projectors, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Amason, but still they stand firmly on their own feet, with an original sound that also challenges the genre they belong to. 

«Magazine» is a pop song that we guarantee you will hum along to from now on. Mark my words.

Released by Jansen Plateproduksjon on 4 November.

Nothing Left To Say

Magazine

Hajk - Magazine (single)

Hajk’s debut album is being released by Jansen Plateproduksjon in February, and after the great success with debut single "Magazine" (Premiere on «Noisey» (US), «Indieshuffle» (UK), «Dagens Nyheter» (Sve), they follow up with the perfect pop gem: "Best Friend".

"Best Friend" is the first song the band wrote together and it’s a simple and in-your-face pop song. They wanted to create a song that both sounded modern and tight, but also with a little 80's vibe, referring to their childhood music. Somehow they've managed very well. This is a song about close friends who maybe expects too much of each other, and get to the point where it finally falls apart.
