THE DAGGERS HEADS FOR STUDIO

Rumours has it Happy Dagger are about to record their next album in very near future. If our intel is right, the next album will be sung with their native-tounge..or "dalane-dialekt" as they would say.

Also, the first full english review of "Songs Of Shame" just hit the web, receving 9/10 for christians, and 6,5/10 for non christians. Only one thing to do in other words to fully enjoy the record, repent and rejoyce.

Also, still not too late to vote for Maribel at the Oslo Prize

Oh, and lookout for more great news soon.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Oslo Gramofon wishes everyone av happy new year and that.

As a gift to you all, we`re happy to announce a new addition to the cult. None other than Oslo-psych-out`s Rosix-Noir!

 

In theese times of recaps and best of lists, OGR-artist has gotten some honorable mentionings. NRK Lydverket has been nice enough to claim "Maribel - Aestehtics" to be one of 09 bests but somewhat forgotten norwegian releases, while furoreihararet has ranked Ivar Nikolaisen of Happy Dagger as the most handsome musician in Norway. (So much for the personal decay.)

 

Talking about decay, Happy Dagger just released their christmas song on Myspace - "Han der Jøden".

 

Also - got this news from The Loch Ness Mouse today:

"Hey, our debut album "Flair for Darjeeling" celebrates 10 years, and we will perform the album in its entity at Egersund Visefestival in July 2010. More about the album anniversary in this article (in Norwegian)"

 

New shows and pictures of Syndrom and Lecter is added.

THNX!

To everyone who showed up at our Sunday Digestive concerts at Parkteateret the last three Sundays. Also a big thank you to all the artist. Been a blast.

Some reviews of "Songs of Shame" are in. They have broken the scale of what`s possible of course, while receiving a historical dice-roll of zero, while the same review also claims it to be the record of the year. Got to love it.

Remember to check out Loch Ness Mouse and Rosix-Noir this upcomming saturday at SubScene. It`s all ages, so bring your kids along.

Review round up for "Aesthetics"

 

6/6 i Dagsavisen
”Årets norske rock-debut er omsider klar for Norge”

 

5/6 i NRK Lydverket
”Maribel bruker sin tid på å komme under huden, men når det først har skjedd har du skaffet deg støyvenner for livet…..Aesthetics vokser seg gjennom støyteppet og fremstår etter mange lyttinger som et varmhjertet punkalbum der omtrent hver låt et er et høydepunkt.”

 

5/6 i Natt og Dag
”Dette er estetikk på høy nivå.”

 

5/6 i Haugesunds Avis
”…spennende og utfordrende.”

 

5/6 i Adresseavisen
”Det hele er så smakfullt at det nesten er til å grine av.”

 

5/6 i Stavanger Aftenblad
”…kommer til å ligge skyhøyt på listene når årets beste plater skal kåres.”

 

6/7 i Groove
rett og slett fordi det har blitt en griseflott skive”

 

8/10 i Musikknyheter
”Sannelig har ikke Norge fått et shoegaze-band i øverste sjikte, denne plata er noe av det bedre hittil av norsk musikk 2009”
