Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

The King of Pop is dead. Let’s all agree not tell Norwegian pop aficionados, Philco Fiction. They’ve yet to perform while wearing one silver glove (although we wouldn’t put it past charismatic frontwoman Turid Solberg), and there’s no word on if they own a pet monkey. Still, the Oslo-based trio has proved that they are unabashed products of their generation—unafraid to stir liberal amounts of 1990s flavor into their twisted tunes.

Last August at Oslo’s Øya Festival, Heyerdahl performed live for the first time. Less than a year old, the band had come a long way to grace the tented-side stage. (Read More)

For those whose history classes skimped on Scandinavia, a bit of backstory. Thor Heyerdahl was a 20th century Norwegian adventurer, who (among other over-the-top exploits) once sailed across an ocean on a raft made of balsa wood. Heyerdhal—the band—is out to do their namesake proud, starting with their full-length debut. (via Heyerdahl Weathers The Storm | MTV IGGY)

I had a thought while eating dinner last night: it’s nice to cover a festival with food options that involve something other than eating a pile of grease. Granted as far as deep revelations go, this is somewhat akin to “it’s nice that festivals are usually held during the spring and summer” or “it’s nice that festivals have lots of different music for lots of different people.” But after four hours of sleep it was a profound moment, brought on by one of the best potatoes I had ever eaten. Granted with the exchange rates it was also one of the most expensive spuds I had ever purchased—but certain concessions must be made. Oh yeah, music. Lots of it, including Philco Fiction, Baroness, John Maus, Frank Ocean, St. Vincent, Ane Brun, and Björk.
