Misty Coast:
After ten years on the road with ampliers turned up to 11, tours with big indie heroes like Dinosaur Jr and Stephen Malkmus, a bit of tinnitus, and a Norwegian Grammy on the shelf, Frøkedal and Myklebust decided to adjust the recipe and brew a new witch’s brew. This time, the beauty would not be hidden behind a curtain of noise; instead, the pop melodies would be placed on top of the fuzzy bass and the experimental guitar pedal work.
Since Misty Coast's debut album in 2017, the band has been on tours in Japan, the UK, and Europe, playing a three-digit number of club concerts and festivals. They have been nominated for the Spellemann Prize and received glowing reviews both domestically and internationally. Misty Coast is known for their strong guitar hooks, catchy, fuzzy basslines, and captivating, dreamy vocal melodies, with parallels drawn to bands like Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star, PJ Harvey, and Broadcast.
Support: Anna Valgreen
Anna Valgreen skrev på en enkelt aften 9 tekster på dansk i ét intuitivt flow, og aftenen efter satte hun melodi til, inden hun i samarbejde med Kåre Joensen (Robot, Baby Woodrose) færdiggjorde albummet som bl.a. høstede 5-stjerner i GAFFA. Anna Valgreen indtager scenen med sin karakteristiske vokal og elektriske guitar samt Kåre Joensen på bas, og hendes sange svæver i et hudløst ærligt og billedligt univers, der lader lytteren skabe egne fortolkninger og inviterer til at lade tankerne vandre. Med en nerve og en klang i stemmen, der læner sig op ad både det fine og det rå, udfoldes hverdagens og længslernes poetiske plateauer på grænsen mellem dansk visetradition og amerikansk indie-folk/rock.
