Harrys Gym are the latest band to come out of the Scandinavian SXSW Bylam and are currently in the studio with URB next 100 producer James Rutledge.
‘Like leaves on the ground, but rather snow in the air, swirling and massive, weightless and fragile’ … is the most apt metaphor to describe the angelically haunted voice of Harry’s Gym vocalist Anne-Lise Frokedal.
With a liking to Garbage, Mew, Blonde Redhead and The Knife, the Norwegian quartet are “wonderfully soaring, dreamlike prog-pop that's more northern sorrow than Northern Soul – but not too oppressively bleak.” (Guardian, Band Of The Day).
And that’s where we find them this week, with the UK release of their debut self-titled album.
Recorded, produced and mixed the by the band themselves, in their own professional studio in an abandoned fitness centre (which shares the name of the band, Harrys Gym) along with the help of Serena-Maneesh (4AD) mastermind Emil Nikolaisen, the album emanates an air of psychedelic sorrow and haunted sweetness.
