The best moment of a great song. Great release!

ᴮᴿᵁᴴ ᴵᴹ ˢᵀᴿᴬᴵᴳᴴᵀ ᵛᴵᴮᴵᴺᴳ

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.

Hajk - Magazine (single)

It’s seldom that new bands appear from seemingly nowhere, not only with quality songs but also with an interplay like they have played together forever. Hajk is such a band. Their first show ever was at the prestigious Øya Festival in Oslo - the tent was packed and the reception could hardly have been better. Hajk have played at By:larm, Camp Indie, Musikkfest Oslo among others, since then, and was “Ukas Urørt” on NRK p3 in April 2016.
In October 2015 they released the scandi-psych masterpiece «Medicine» and in the spring of 2016, they released a collection of new singles, after recording in studio with Marcus Forsgren (Bror Forsgren, Jaga Jazzist, Lionheart Brothers). 
Hajk share members with garage rockers, Death by Unga Bunga, Ni Liv, No.4, Papirfly etc.

Hajk is:

Preben Andersen - guitar, vocals
Sigrid Aase - vocals, percussion
Knut Olav Sandvik - bass, vocals
Einar Næss Haugseth - keys
Johan Nord - drums
