120 Days - 120 Days

So what exactly are Norway’s newest exports all about?  Unlike their peers - who are from a similar scene yet making music that’s far more stripped down and poppy - 120 Days are a quite different proposition altogether.  Their music is designed for a stage of epic proportions.  Formed by four old friends from Kristiansund (on the northwest coast of Norway), 120 Days in 2001 travelled to Oslo in search of excitement and inspiration with their music.  It proved too expensive to live, so the band bought an old motor home, parked it in the street, and lived and played in it for a year. The result is somewhat representative of the cold, hard times they shared in this city – music born from a makeshift home on wheels at the side of a road in the middle of cold, cold city: this harsh environment coupled with the band’s love of NEU!, Suicide and Spaceman 3 came together in creating this new breed of deep tunnelling synth-rock.
