The only couple in the entire universe out there Both The members have a history of a tuba-based band. Fresher than it has been in a very long time.

“We desperately need a new direction,” they already announced in the third song. Then you can choose if you want to interpret it literally, politically, or as another eccentric text from Ingrid Håvik.

After listening to “Mother”, the fifth album isn’t really exciting or political, but quite conceptual for one of the most successful Norwegian bands of the past decade, it’s anyway Comprehensive understanding of one’s endurance.

The undersigned believe that the former “uranium core” is just a sign of a severe recession. Then primarily in the rhythm of the song. This is the challenge with “Mother” as well.

But it’s a considerably smoother version.
