With an irresistible knack for lush melodies and grandiose statements so significant for groups from the nordic countries, Oslo-based quartet
Heyerdahl (yes, indeed named after
this guy) release their debut single "Mirage" today via
Red Eye Transit. A picture-perfect pop song that allegedly was recorded during a nasty storm in a lighthouse on the western Norwegian coast last winter, a story so stereotypic that we almost refused to believe it. In any case, listen to the very compelling result below.
In very much related news, our friends at
Nordic By Nature are gonna host Heyerdahl's
single release party at Berlin's Monarch on August 22, presented by
No Fear Of Pop and
Zitty. Go
