Flunk on Soundcloud

[soundcloud url=”http://soundcloud.com/flunktheband/sets/remixes”]

We have uploaded some tracks on Soundcloud – including several unreleased remixes, versions and live studio recordings.
Some of them are available for free downloads. Enjoy!

Meanwhile: We’re still out here. The sweetness you see above are the two main reasons why our body of work have been on the lighter side this last year or so. Both Anja and Jo became parents in the space of days last winter. Anja got Erik (pictured right, and no – he’s not named after Erik – our drummer), Jo (well, his wife) got Johanna.

We’ll be back next year, wiser than ever.
Check in at our Soundcloud page for goodies. There will be more free fun to grab.

New album, new live set

anjoving01

Finally, on Monday our new album is out. We really hope you will like it.
More on ‘This Is What You Get’ here.

Meanwhile, we are practising. And practising.
Erik, the drummer, is going to be a father any day now, so we will have to do without him on the shows next week (Parkteatret, Oslo Monday and Tromsø on Friday).
The photos are from Jo’s, where we have been doing the pre-production. We will do a much more basic sound, more stripped, Anja joins in on guitar, Ulf has a new sampler etc. Should be a nice treat – if we can deliver the goods!

December will be magic again


The above is a picture from Marrakech, Marocco on Sunday night. Just back from holiday there. Reminds me slightly about the ‘For Sleepyheads Only’ album sleeve photo…

Below, the new flyer for the Flunkschool club night. The November edition was cancelled due to common cold, I’ll try again on December 6 at the Pavilion café in Oslo.

And remember we do a full Flunk gig at the same venue on Friday December 14.
Also, the remix album ‘Democracy’ is out now on iTunes and other digital services. It will also be out on old fashioned compact disc, if you prefer the material world! It’s good value in any case, 16 tracks, 16 different mixes.

And – oh – do remember to buy the new Burial album. Probably the best album this decade – still!

Bedroom recordings

Snapshots from recording sessions. Above Anja in my home studio, during a vocal session. Below Jo in his home studio, just down the street (shot with his brand new Leica camera)!
The album will be finished the first week in February! And the release date is still April 23.

Belgrade gig



(Click on photos for high resolution version)

Flunk played live in Belgrade last weekend. Good fun, even did a radio show on Sunday.
Here are pictures from the show. Support band was the very amusing Swedish singer/songwriter Karl-Jonas Winqvist and his band. MySpace site here. He’s also in a band called First Flower Power – in fact the band all looked like the cast of brilliant Swedish director Lukas Moodysson‘s hippie movie Tilsammans (Together).

Other news? Well, we’re working on the album. Hopefully it’s finished by christmas. And it will – if all goes as planned – be out on April 30th next year. It’s going to be called Common Sense.

And oh, apparently See Thru You (off the For Sleepyheads Only album) appeared in a love scene in an episode of the ABC series Brothers & Sisters (Sally Field, Rachael Griffiths, Calista Flockhart…) this week. According to our best friend in the US, Beth Sereni.

And Blue Monday will be featured in the upcoming Nancy Drew movie, to be released next year.

Remember to check out our MySpace site.
