California

Datarock

Five tracks of sun-drenched synth-pop and deadpan funk. A Norwegian take on California dreaming, built on sharp basslines and bright, rhythmic electronics.

It's like Devo went on a surf trip to 2011 and forgot to take off their tracksuits.

A bright, synth-driven celebration of West Coast tropes delivered with a wink and a heavy Norwegian groove.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The title track's infectious synth hook that mimics a sun-drenched 80s pop anthem.
The rhythmic interplay between the dry, funky bass and the rigid drum machine on Great Pets.
The sudden shift to a more melodic, almost sentimental vocal delivery during the chorus of Walk Away.
