ABOUT THIS ITEM

Hailing from the celebrated music scene in Bergen, Norway – also home to Whitest Boy Alive, Ungdomskulen and Datarock - Casiokids have spent the last 12 months playing shows across North America, Europe, Mexico and Russia including being hand-picked by fellow Norwegians A-ha to support them on their last tour. The quartet were also recently nominated for a Spellemann Award (the Norwegian equivalent of a Grammy) and in amongst these events, they set about recording their long awaited album.

Whereas their past releases have been recorded quickly in locations as varied as guitarist Fredrik Vogsborg's father's office, the hallway of the Bergen Jazz Association, and an old canteen, ‘Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen’ came to fruition at the band's own pace within their rehearsal space at the newly established Bergen Kjøtt (Bergen Meat). As a result, the record is much more cohesive than their collection of previous singles and unlike anything Casiokids have released thus far.

As vocalist Ketil Kinden Endresen explains, "Doing the recordings within the same timeframe left us more focused in the studio, shaping ideas from sketches into the finished songs with the whole album in mind."
