BIO
Sitting on a branch with a Game Boy and a cup of earl grey, Bjørn Felle takes pot-shots at narcissists with an idiosyncratic electronic sound inspired by 80s synthpop and punk, 90s techno, house and indie grunge, the odd 16-bit video game soundtrack, and a healthy dose of psychedelia.
The result is a blend of the tongue-in-cheek party of Holy Fuck and the character-piece songwriting of Blur, amped and industrialised and then degraded with the lo-fi VHS vibes of TVAM.
In 2023 Bjørn signed an exclusive distribution deal with AnalogueTrash to release his new double album+EP on Bandcamp, streaming and cassette.
Bjørn’s first album release A Regrettable Agreement (2019) explored the more personal consequences of interacting with certain flavours of personalities with a more raw sound, and laid the groundwork for Bjørn’s subsequent release. Daddy Issues (2020) extended the concept of disdain for aspects of the human condition, with a bigger production and continually experimental sound.
Bjørn’s most recent album release Extreme Hazard Planet is a brutalising joyride through the wasteland, combining a harsher, more industrial sound than Bjørn’s previous releases, and tells the story of a future civilisation learning about the fate of life on Earth.
Satellite EP Paradise Moon, scheduled for release in June 2024, tells a more personal story from the point of view of a denizen of end-stage capitalism, bleeding lungs and all, with a more tender synthwave sound from a half-demagnetised tape found among the detritus of a poisoned landscape.
