I asked the publisher Falck forlag about a possible English version/translation. Sounded like it might very well be a possibility further down the line, but one thing at the time. I guess they have to fund & write the Norwegian original first…!
@Mefisto: Hopefully the book will be as good as the album.A lot to like about this, I enjoy it a lot. Strong melodies, catchy, whimsical, characteristically gebhardtesque all over as you would expect. I got fairly strong Tom Waits vibes on a number of songs. That’s a compliment.
@marc: don't know the track list, but there's at least one 'lang' (long) and one 'halvlang' (half long)!
@Krist Rampage the bio mentions a multi-year film project with teatre troupe De utvalgte aiming to document the MP experience, starting last summer, rather sparse on detail though so who knows. Could be the film they talk about.
190 shows! 8O Fekkin hell. That is… a lot. That is well over 15% of all MP gigs ever played. Respect.
Regarding Tussler or not. In my humble opinion I think it could be included. The nucleus of the Tussler band is (was) MP in its entirety, they played numerous of their own songs. Comparable perhaps more to the In the Fishtank project, wich always has been considered a part of MP, than to any of the numerous other side projects of various members.
In addition to Sandnes 18.01.22 the 4 gigs at Dansens Hus in Oslo the 27. to 30.05.21 may also have slipped through…? They contained the same songs as Sandnes
@The Other Anders: As I am only able to attend this one show it is not really a problem for me personally if Plan#1 & Fool's Gold are finishing off several shows, but I see your point! Judging from the variety in the setlists so far on this tour, I don't imagine this to be the case though. But if it happens? It's a pretty strong finish.
Good lord what a behemoth Motorpsycho is these days! And that Thomas fella! 8O
Highlights for me: Everything from LLM onwards. And The Crucible felt really pertinent, it is a song for the times we live in, it felt significant somehow.
"there is way more substance and darkness in those records than the relatively banal and 2DÂ Trust Us-era albums that are actually pretty cartoonish in places."
Haha, that's a fairly harsh review of your own body of work, particularly as it is the era that so many keep in so high regard. Oh well, if you ever doubted MP is a living, forever evolving organism.
A little bit of possible background to this. The National Report on Wolves in Norway was made, amongst others, by NTNU (The University in Trondheim). I just noticed on the news here in Norway that the report was presented by Professor in Biology Hans Kristian Stenøien. Hmmm. Where else do we know him from? What about 'Tonight We Bloom' by Hans Stenøien & Sugarfoot? I suspect a tiny bit of nepotism here!
A great little tune it is, as well
Lol. Thinking of how MP heavily referenced Stravinsky's Rite of Spring in KoO press releases and such, have they cleverly also recreated it's rather hostile reception by a bewildered and confused audience struggling with the avantgarde?
Damn I'm out of town on the fifth. If you can't make it to see them live, any and all of their records are highly recommended.
A short clip from the woods in Fjaler
I wasn't there myself, but this appeared on the theatre festival's facebook page. That looks like quite the gig.
