Fervent Mind was formed by vocalist and composer Live Sollid in 2014. Since then, they have developed a sound that is both unique and original. The band plays experimental rock with elements from post rock and metal as well as dream pop and contemporary jazz. Their music balances on a fine line between the rough and the delicate. Bands such as Porcupine Tree, Mew, Massive Attack, Radiohead and Susanne Sundfør are strong sources of inspiration. Since they started playing, Fervent Mind has become a band known for their intense and energetic live performances and their captivating and progressive soundscape.

Adventures in the land of synthprogtronica

"Explosive duo from Oslo that manages to create an extremely exciting, eccentric universe by means of one drum, a number of interconnected guitar amps and a series of loop & effect pedals. A universe filled with jazz, noise, postpunk & funk. Adventurous, energetic, danceable and innovative… Right through the wall of sound!"

Ipecac Recordings is the brainchild of Greg Werckman (former label manager for the legendary punk label, Alternative Tentacles, employee for Mercury Records for a record 15 minutes, currently operating Pick-A-Winner Management) and Mike Patton (former frontman for Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, currently of Fantômas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom).

Werckman and Patton had been scheming for years (in between video games) about starting their very own label, waiting for just the right moment to unleash their master plan. Ipecac Recordings is not about to make music biz history and execute a revolution (although one is surely needed) or bore you by waxing poetic about their original musical philosophies. But if we have to adhere to a "mission statement," how about the notion of being an honest, artist friendly label run on a shoe string with no outrageous promotional or production costs. This label is a home to Mike Patton's eclectic musical collaborations as well as a place where bands we admire have the freedom to release music they might not be able to, or want to, release on other labels.
