MOUNT RUSHMORE SAFARI - is a rock group from Copenhagen, Denmark led by singer Andreas Sorgenfrei.

The band started as a musical playground in 2012 between Andreas and bass man Kasper Nissen (of The Rumour Said Fire), and recorded an EP which caught the attention of the media and kick started the band.

Since the early days, the band has been a work in progress with mixed musicians revolving around Sorgenfrei as the leading man. Within the short period of time that the band has existed the band has been playing a long series of concerts in Denmark and Germany, supporting well established Danish acts such as Kellermensch, and Kissaway Trail, as well as international – THE 1975, And Also the Trees , Gardens & Villa, Summer Camp, to mention a few. 

In 2013, Mount Rushmore Safari released their first full-length album “Elba” through Target Distribution. The album got fine reviews in Danish media, and got some attention from across borders as well. - German webzine Indieberlin saw the band play in Berlin and did a review on the album saying: ”Sorgenfrei's vocals really shine out on this record. In the song 'John Wayne' in particular he begins the song with a conspicuous Spaghetti-Western-tinged accent, moving seamlessly into his bright falsetto”.

British radio Amazinetunes has been quite fond of the band since their first EP came out in 2012, and had this to say of the long awaited debut album: ”It’s been said before, but bears repeating, we do love a great Scandinavian band. Mount Rushmore Safari is such a band…We told you to listen, we told our friends to listen, we pretty much told everyone that we met to just have a listen & you did.”

In 2013, Mount Rushmore Safari signed a distribution/booking deal in Germany to release “Elba” in Switzerland, Austria and Germany in 2014, where the band will be touring in the Fall.
Meanwhile, the band is already busy in Aarhus, Denmark recording their next album. Which like “Elba” is produced by Thunder & Lightning Music, and pointing in a slightly less electronic direction that the debut, and with a more American rocking feel to it.

MOUNT RUSHMORE SAFARI - SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN

As middleclass wasteland wonder
Scooping ice cream through the teeth to the bottom of the throat
Just licking all the lack of sweetness
A perfect settle mindset filled with no ideas to turn it off

Looking through the glass of suspicion
taught to be jealous, by those who can take them off
bleeding noses falling through the playground
Tell all the ghost drivers driving left side has always the right

nostalgic cyanide and cardboard silhouettes
isn’t nice
so many modern melodies, no need to whistle ‘bout a thing
isn’t nice
Venom can be a good taste in time
Get use to feel 40 years behind

take a rumble fire swirl storm hurricane
glimpse of remorse kissing all lust sucking schemes to an end
One taste on a brand new flavour
Makes all the cavemen crumble down in downtown suitcase souvenirs

nostalgic cyanide and cardboard silhouettes
isn’t nice
so many modern melodies, no need to whistle ‘bout a thing
isn’t nice
Venom can be a good taste in time
Get use to feel 40 years behind

oh no.

take it all in aspects of the time
we use in stereo scenario lines
we don’t do nothing but state the claim we do
oh no.
it’s a waste of time this noise is killing me
From a fountain of a shivering seduce
keeps those eyes and those ears to yourself
or strap your brain out on these sounds
You know it won’t be required anymore
just turn it up, just turn it up, just down
At least that’s what i thought i thought
oh no.
it’s so intriguing how a king can loose his head
with a record label strapped around his belt
Like a ocean liner sailing in a pond
Such great frustration not to care about
Self absorbing polyphonic doubt
Oh no.
Please just turn it off, just turn it off

Middleclass Wasteland Wonder

Three of Norwegian music's most renowned artist's team up! 

Kolstø/Atlanter/Frøkedal. Their music is a mix of Atlanter’s unmistakable sound and harmonies, Kolstø’s unique voice and pop feel and Frøkedal’s voice and sense of songwriting.

In February the Norwegian band Atlanter did a special appearance with Hanne Kolstø and Anne Lise Frøkedal at the new radio station P13’s opening party. Together with a horn section they played some songs they have written together and some amazing cover versions. Imagine a combination of Fela Kuti, Tower of Power and Yeasayer. 

Now they have recorded two great originals together, Stand Still and Temple. Enjoy!

"Homesick" is about the nostalgia every human has, homesickness to the past, a past that perhaps never existed.

MOUNT RUSHMORE SAFARI - is a rock group from Copenhagen, Denmark. The band was formed in the beginning of 2011, and started out as a musical playground between frontman Andreas Sorgenfrei and Kasper Nissen (of The Rumour Said Fire).
 
The two go back a long way, and had been playing in other bands together years earlier at the time. Now that they were back together, their mission was to create a new sound in the studio unlike any of their previous adventures.
 
The material Andreas had written led towards atmospheric 80s inspired pop music, while Kasper as the leading producer gave it a more up to date indie rock styled expression. The meddle was inevitably interesting. Mount Rushmore Safari was a reality.
 
Within the short period of time that the band has existed, Mount Rushmore Safari has been playing a long series of concerts i Denmark and Germany, supporting well established Danish acts such as "Kellermensch", "Coco Moon", "Sterling", as well as international - "And Also the Trees (UK)", "Gardens & Villa" (US) and "Cursive" (US).
 
In 2013 their debut album "Elba" will be released. - The band describes the music as booming pop songs, with rocking choruses and highly personal lyrics of broken dreams, previous band members and mental illness.
 
Of the lyrical universe frontman Andreas Sorgenfrei explains:
 
- "I was working in an institution for young mentally ill people as a nightwatchman - a job I was fond of for some years but at the end, had to face was eating me alive. Suicide attempts and psychotic behaviour on a daily basis, will at some point take its toll on you, when everything else in your life is also not looking very optimistic."
 
"Elba" is produced by producer team - Søren Zahle Schou and Mads Holst Tønder - Thunder & Lightning Music.
