Hit Reset

Anaesthesia Live

Synopsis:
"We got lost in dreams of fame
We got lost in empty names 
Egoes roar like beasts in chains 
Running wild they set the pace"

A song about how our society has lost track of human emotion and actual happiness and instead are walking feverishly around chasing cheap thrills, hooked on dopamin-driven feedback loops.

The title cut of the album, featuring the two truly outstanding musicians, Ola Kvernberg and Marianne Baudouin Lie on violin and cello.


PROMO - ENGLISH: 

The Fjords are back with new music, and this time they invite the listener into a stream of thoughts circling around interpersonal relationships. In a society that ́s obsessed with news worth, market worth, new infatuations and cheap thrills, The Fjords bring an album about what comes after the crush, about the long haul, about compromise, long thoughts, wounded pride, and about healing your wounds and moving on together. About big storms and still water. About the ear deafening silence after an argument, and about hands finding their way across the abyss and meeting in the dark after hard words have been uttered. But mostly about finding the way back to the dream you dreamt together.

This time many of the texts take the form of internal monologs - and the music is naked, intimate and unvarnished.

The Fjords combine traditional songmaking with modern electronic elements and a touch of soul, which together constitutes heart bound and timeless music. The Fjords have been playlisted on P3, P13, was selected for Spotify ́s Spotlight Artist 2015, and have gotten international acclaim from BBC1, BBC6, Noisey, The Guardian, NME, Stern, Rolling Stone Magazine, The Independent and many others.

What started as Petter Vågans solo project at the Jazz Conservatory in Trondheim has grown into a four piece consisting of Vegard Lien Bjerkan, Bárður Reinert Poulsen and Kim Christer Hylland.

“pulsating, gospel synth-pop” - NOISEY

“bold and powerful songs...massive potential” - THE LINE OF BEST FIT

“wonderfully majestic, grandiose music that is as ambitious as it is infectious... effortlessly seductive and bold” - THE 405

NORSK: 

The Fjords er tilbake med oppfølgeren til Silhouettes, denne gangen inviterer de inn i en tankestrøm rundt mellommenneskelige forhold. I et samfunn som er besatt av nyhetsverdi, markedsverdi, nye forelskelser og billige kicks, kommer The Fjords med ei plate om elskelsen, eller etter-elskelsen; om kompromiss, lange tanker, knekt stolthet, å bandasjere sår og gå videre sammen. Om store stormer og stille vann. Om den store stillheten etter en krangel, og om hender føler seg frem over avgrunnen og møtes i mørket etter at harde ord har falt. Men mest av alt om å finne veien tilbake til drømmen man drømte sammen.

Denne gang er mange av tekstene formet som indre monologer - og musikken er naken, nær og usminket.

The Fjords kombinerer tradisjonell låtskriverkunst med moderne elektroniske elementer og en touch soul, noe som til sammen utgjør hjertevendt og tidløs musikk. The Fjords har blitt spillelistet på P3, P13, ble valgt ut til Spotifys Spotlight 2015, og internasjonalt høstet lovord fra BBC1, BBC6, Noisey, The Guardian, NME, Stern, Rolling Stone Magazine, The Independent og mange andre.

Det som startet som Petter Vågans solo-prosjekt på Jazzlinja ved NTNU i Trondheim har vokst seg til firemannsband bestående av Vegard Lien Bjerkan, Bárður Reinert Poulsen og Kim Christer Hylland.

04 Ladders

Synopsis: 
"At a point in life
Some thoughts will cut you deeper than a knife
And I´m like a child 
Cuz there are things that you should never say out loud"

A song about getting lost in your own dark thoughts and how to get back out
