Imagine if The Beach Boys decided to get weird(er), moved to Florida, and started a band with Frank Zappa's cousins. That's Ex Norwegian, blending powerpop, psychedelia, and stoner rock since 2008. Led by Roger Houdaille, these sun-soaked misfits craft accessible yet esoteric tunes. Named after a Monty Python sketch (why not?), they've been on a quest to never repeat themselves – except when spinning their own tracks. From their 'hit' " Something Unreal "(air quotes fully intended), to album #13 Spook Du Jour (2023), they keep it fresh. Not content with unlucky numbers, they released Sooo Extra in November 2023, because 14 is the new 13, obviously. But wait, there's more! 2024 brings the "we-swear-they're-different-this-time" reissues of "Sketch" and "House Music", now available in bite-sized digital portions for the attention-span challenged. And just when you thought it was safe to take your ears out for a walk, October 2024 will see the release of "Sing Wistle Tunes", a John Entwistle tribute that absolutely no one asked for, but everyone secretly needed. Ex Norwegian: Making music that's simultaneously ahead of its time and fashionably late to the party since 2008. Tune in, turn on, and try to keep up!
