Arne and Frode were able to track live guitars and drums together in Oslo, which somehow gives the vibe of a combo rockin' a high school gym - owing much to the engineering work of Bård Ingebrigtsen, who also did the final mixes. My Best Evil Friend was realized in the way it was required, bouncing tracks back and forth from studios in Norway to the Dungeon Of Horror in Portland, Oregon, with a few other helpful home-recorders. Thirty-plus songs later and we have My Evil Best Friend, the band's third release and follow-up to 2020's exceptional (by definition) The Great Lost No Ones Album. Conceived above the Arctic Circle, split by thousands of miles, and compounded by ridiculous schedules and pandemics. So, making music comes naturally to this band, despite the obstacles. I Was A King releases its 8th album Follow Me Home in September 2022. Master of melodies as well as guitars, capos, chords, and vocal cords. Scott The Hoople is his solo side-career.įrode Strømstad - I Was A King, Rider, etc. Casablanca and The Florida Project are required viewing. He enjoys coffee in his spare time, and dreams of Neil Young and Irma Thomas fronting Sun Ra's Arkestra, with Nice As Fuck opening.
#Yep nope lyrics plus#
Primary lyricist, plus bass, keyboards, guitars and vocals. Scott McCaughey - Young Fresh Fellows, The Minus 5, R.E.M., Baseball Project, Filthy Friends, etc. Rural Tapes (solo/collaborative instrumental project) release 2nd album Inner Space Music November 2022. He loves forest green, his Korg MS-10, Can, and Raymond Scott. Arne played the controversial piano solo on "Turn Again" from first No Ones long-player. Drums, keyboards, percussion, vocals, etc. Made three amazing and fucked-up solo albums that are available only in an alternate analog world.Īrne Kjelsrud Mathisen - I Was A King, Rural Tapes, etc. Countless songs - you can only hope to contain them! Double-LPs and pizza. Peter Buck - R.E.M., Minus 5, Filthy Friends, Baseball Project, Luke Haines, etc. In this case there are but four No Ones, and you can put them all in one room, though not very often at the same time. The No Ones are also defined as "not a single person" and that's fine too. An example of no one is how you would describe who is in an empty house. Mammals fill the floor, spill out the door. We are all bags of meat, dreaming long-haired girls and boys. In the other corner, caged like a fox and fondling its fur: Billie Dixon as Harlow (pronouns: she/her). Richard Bright in a light show: Billy the Kid.

Everybody here, policing their fear - is nature too foul?
