Feil Knapp
Label:
SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND (NORWAY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
STS 117CD
"This is his first album since
Trøbbel
in 2001 (on Telle Records). In many ways
Feil Knapp
(Norwegian for 'wrong button') represents a sound that sits somewhere in between
Trøbbel
, 1999's seminal
Nedi Myra
on Ferox and his underground cult hit
Søppelmann
on Svek. With influences ranging to everything from Count Ossie and The Residents via 22 Skidoo to Idut Boys, Torske has created his very own and characteristic signature sound, a unique blend of warm and melancholic house, quirky avant-disco, leftfield electronica and dark, heavy psychedelic dub. In other words; this album has everything that we have learned to love Bjørn for. Weirdly melodic and wonderfully groovy."

Title:
Kokning
Label:
SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND (NORWAY)
Format:
CD
Price:
$17.00
Catalog #:
STS 196CD
"
Kokning
was conceived between the release of
Feil Knapp
and the beginning of 2010. Through series of studio sessions of experimenting with different sounds; instruments, objects of different textures, whose sounds were played within different spaces of various acoustics. The results were then edited into basic rhythm tracks which then were overdubbed with new series of recordings in similar manner. The album it involves more organic/ acoustic sound basics and less programmed patterns than
Feil Knapp
. Since
Feil Knapp
he has been working on a number of remixes for other artists, including Sunburned Hand of the Man, Lindstrøm, Crimea X, Big Robot feat. Conrad Schnitzler etc. Also working with music and soundscapes for a stage production, as well as touring with my own band, Bjørn Torske Band.
Kokning
starts out beautifully. It's both melodic and melancholic with a warm, slow ambiance. Soft psychedelics and a Balearic rhythm are introduced before it fades into Torske's signature skrangle-house and then ends with what can only be described as 'Moondog disco' (imagine if Moondog and Count Ossie got together to make disco)."
