Palace of Pleasure

Here's some old news:

Palace of Pleasure made their debut on the Norwegian

Electronica scene in 1996, and have released six

albums, of which two got the Norwegian Grammy award

for best dance album.(1998 and 2000 respectively.) The

band have also released eight singles, two EP’s and

contributed to several compilations, such as

Nicolette: DJ-kicks and Sunday Best vol. 3.

The band’s sound is hard to categorise, as P.O.P. play

everything they feel like playing,

but dubby electronica is often a fitting description.

A strong affection for analog equipment, deep bass,

and strong melodies can be heard in all of their

music, and there is always traces of dub in a P.O.P.

track.

Palace of Pleasure have toured in Norway and Europe

numerously, and played the major Scandinavian festivals.

The band has a very good live reputation,

and a strong stage presence. A unique style of

filtering and Echoing has been developed over the

years, and this coupled with all kinds of live

instruments and strong vocals, ensure an unusual live

experience for an electronic act.

New of the year is a Horn Quartet that blows your mind away.

P.O.P. have also produced music for television,

cooperated with performance artists

and theatre groups, remixed other electronic acts from

the Oslo scene (and a-ha…), and written text and music

for a children’s sci-fi radio drama.
