Ex Norwegian

Imagine if <a href="spotify:artist:3oDbviiivRWhXwIE8hxkVV" data-name="The Beach Boys">The Beach Boys</a> decided to get weird(er), moved to Florida, and started a band with <a href="spotify:artist:6ra4GIOgCZQZMOaUECftGN" data-name="Frank Zappa">Frank Zappa</a>&#39;s cousins. That&#39;s Ex Norwegian, blending powerpop, psychedelia, and stoner rock since 2008.

Led by <a href="spotify:artist:6oNovsnQRq6p6fhPNSgLju" data-name="Roger Houdaille">Roger Houdaille</a>, these sun-soaked misfits craft accessible yet esoteric tunes. Named after a <a href="spotify:artist:5IxfhXIHjAOAqibxl90NZO" data-name="Monty Python">Monty Python</a> sketch (why not?), they&#39;ve been on a quest to never repeat themselves – except when spinning their own tracks.

From their &#39;hit&#39; &#34; <a href="spotify:track:5zMrFRn3FPIbLss07D34ko" data-name="Something Unreal">Something Unreal</a> &#34;(air quotes fully intended), to album #13 <a href="spotify:album:2td3aAuolSwpW22vAngeCb" data-name="Spook Du Jour">Spook Du Jour</a> (2023), they keep it fresh. Not content with unlucky numbers, they released <a href="spotify:album:2i2j4zRj0LUknZk01QiFzY" data-name="Sooo Extra">Sooo Extra</a> in November 2023, because 14 is the new 13, obviously.

But wait, there&#39;s more! 2024 brings the &#34;we-swear-they&#39;re-different-this-time&#34; reissues of &#34;Sketch&#34; and &#34;House Music&#34;, 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 &#34;Sing Wistle Tunes&#34;, a <a href="spotify:artist:3NCzK7DcNxRgtTF4BCEjvr" data-name="John Entwistle">John Entwistle</a> tribute that absolutely no one asked for, but everyone secretly needed.

<a href="spotify:artist:5k0yfdXdFtTchGiTClhRX6" data-name="Ex Norwegian">Ex Norwegian</a>: Making music that&#39;s simultaneously ahead of its time and fashionably late to the party since 2008. Tune in, turn on, and try to keep up!
