Electro Spectre

Photos by Tarjei Krogh - www.tarjeikrogh.com Electro Spectre is the latest contribution to the norwegian electro pop scene, and sets out to leave their distinct mark. Among the band’s most important driving forces is early day electronic music, but tribute is paid to the hole era of pop and rock – in other words, Electro Spectre steals and plunders from anything that is found to be of interest. The outcome is always uncompromisingly their own, and the sound the result of a relentless vision, making use of all today’s possibilities. The album ‘Watch It All Turn’ has been written and recorded during the last year with Isak Rypdal and Alexander Björneboe in the studio, and consists of twelve tracks presenting a forceful variety of songs, spanning from catchy, danceable to the more dark edged. Words and music forges a sinister universe, yet not without a grinning recklessness – on the whole chasing the ghost of importance, a pursuit fueled by vintage synthesizers and crying gitars. Label manager and producer Isak Rypdal has an earlier sucsessful history with productions such as Freeloader (EMI Music) and Dr. No (Warner Music).
