English:CD-review

The track Loose Ends was written when Jonas lived with his brother, Stephan back in 2001, and a demo version has been wandering around online ever since. During the holidays of 2020, the band decided to re-record this song and make it their follow-up single to last year’s debut Something In Me, which was voted ‘one of the top 20 songs of the year’ by several official channels and online magazines (The Electricity Club, Zero Music Magazine, and others.). The single has been available on all streaming platforms, and has reached more that 100.000 streams, plays and downloads since its release in October 2020.


The new single was recorded by Jonas and Truls, with Computorgirl (Benedicte Sveinsson) lending her amazing voice to the up-tempo b-side Don’t. A remix of Loose Ends has been provided by Alyxx of Zone Tripper, and the b-side was remixed by Truls, aka Tröll. Magne Johansen of MJAudio served as mixer of the single, which also includes Extended Remixes of both tracks, and Ole-Espen Kristiansen (Elec This!) mastered everything at STUDIO+/-. 

Loose Ends is a poppy retro wave track with a melancholic feel and a catchy chorus. Fans op Apoptygma Berzerk (with what Stephan does here) will also be pleased with this one. Once the song is played out all you want is more!

Don't could have been used in Knightrider or Miami Vice. It's an uptempo synth pop track. The female vocals of Computorgirl (Benedicte Sveinsson) gives it a nice touch and an extra layer.

As I already stated after the first track: I want more and am really looking forward to get the whole album!
