Norwegian psych-electro-rock duo Nonne releases their new single Lar dæ gå today. Lar dæ gå is a song that fuses the Nordic singer/songwriter tradition, acid house, breakbeats, soul and a concept of playing yourself into a trance state.
Gustav Eidsvik and Erlend Skotnes met during their teenage years and soon became friends by playing together in various bands, including hardcore band Feskekrok and indie rock band Great People, where they played bass and drums. While living together in 2019, one of them thought it would be exciting to see what a band with just the two of them would sound like, and Nonne was born. After first writing songs in English, everything fell into place when they translated one of their songs into their Northern Norwegian dialect and started writing in their native tongue. The adventurous duo sing polar love songs in a baggy style and have since established themselves as one of Norway’s most exciting acts.
Nonne are known for their pulsating live shows with tight and spontaneous performances. Take themselves seriously, but not always. Nonne draws lines between sexy grooves, repetitive riffs, tropical percussion and punchy synths. All this with mysterious, melancholic and hopeful melodies on top. Following their homeland, the band is ready to conquer the rest of the world with their innovative, monotonous yet varied sound.
