Debut album from Norwegian electro-cinematics Ugress.

Ugress - Reason To Believe

Note: This album will be available for listening on June 15th.

Reminiscience is the fourth studio album from Ugress. Presenting melodic, epic retro-electronica in a cinematic scope, it lives up to the title, delivering the science and research of sweet memories.

Nostalgic robots are singing about their forgotten movies, sweet and scary monsters are humming massive club lullabies, 70'ies disco detectives are fighting crime with funk, and bubbly 80'ies computer game music bring us back to the digital childhood escapism. Masters of kung-fu deliver wise sample advice in a delicious dub, and guest vocalists bathe in pulsing house tracks and stadium sized beats.

Featuring guest vocals by Christine Litle, Heidi Marie Vestrheim and Sjur Hjeltnes.

There Is No Here, Here

Ugress - There Is No Here, Here

Faeries of norse mythology roam a post-apocalyptic landscape. The gloom-groovy Black Anorak blends the sonic textures of black metal, norse folk and abandoned ruins with dark electronica and film music.

The album references cult norwegian action-music scores from the 80ies like Orion’s Belt and Etter Rubicon, while also incorporating elements of black metal, folk music and using samples from abandonded buildings and infrastructure in western norwegian fjords. Black Anorak features contributions from folk musician Annlaug Børsheim on kveding, a particular norwegian vocal song technique, and the Hardangerfiddle, a traditional western norwegian string instrument, with a double set of strings to create sympathetic resonance to the main strings.

Composed, arranged, performed, programmed and produced by Gisle Martens Meyer. Vocals on “The Deepest Veil” by Annlaug Børsheim. Hardingfele on "The Deepest Veil" and "Toil 22" by Annlaug Børsheim.

[ominous music playing]

Like the replicants in Blade Runner, the tracks on Ghoststorm are nostalgic for a past that never existed. Their emotions spring from artificially implanted memories. There is the theme song to an 80’ies anime TV-show that never existed, there is a spaghetti western where obscure characters shimmer on the edge of focus, there are elegant ballrooms filled with dancing dust and the contours of wuxia fights choreographed in the fluttery waves of VHS tracking.

The music is created from thousands of samples from all of musical history, shaped through the deep dreams of artificial networks – the sounds are remade by machine understanding. The result is a sonic maelstrom of cultural fragments, swirling forever in an Escher-like labyrinth on the verge of recognition: “…but isn’t that? …“.

Ghoststorm is the third and final release in Ugress’ dark future trilogy of releases. It is dystopian and cinematic music with a melancholic edge, echoing a subconscious dawning: We live our lives in apps, devices and social media. We share only our edited memories, a filtered life that never happened, and aspire to exist in this reality of manicured stories.

Living through screens, we are ghosting ourselves. We become replicants.
