With some new riffs, a couple of pedal steel noise tracks and the wonderful flutes coming out of mixing engineer Matias Tellez&#8217; mellotron, it became more and more clear that this was the sound of the north atlantic oceans. We have some friends who actually surf in these ice cold, arctic waters so it was a fitting theme for this piece<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"size-18\" lang=\"x-size-18\">Watch\u00a0the video for\u00a0<em>Atlantic Surfing<\/em> via YouTube below.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xp2y_TaIO8M?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"size-18\" lang=\"x-size-18\">\u2018Mint\u2019 is the debut album by Norwegian inventors, Orions Belte. When looking at the influences for a band, there are few as eclectic and far-reaching than those of this Oslo-based collective. They describe themselves as equally inspired by Nigerian 70s rock, postcards from the French riviera, Formula One races at the Monza track in Italy, to when Joe Frazier beat Muhammad Ali in the \u2018Fight of the Century\u2019 in 1971. Expansive and unique.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size-18\" lang=\"x-size-18\">Band members Chris Holm and \u00d8yvind Blomstr\u00f8m make a living out of touring and creating for Norwegian names such as Sondre Lerche, Young Dreams, and Nathalie Nordnes, and so are almost always on the road and exploring different sounds wherever possible. When their paths crossed for the umpteenth time in 2016, their mutual dream of starting an instrumental project together finally found a spark. Holm\u2019s companion from the Bergen scene, Kim \u00c5ge Furuhaug, was the match, and Orions Belte was born.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size-18\" lang=\"x-size-18\">Handsomely hazed vocals and inventive melodies, combine with rhythmic vocabulary that draws equally and naturally from psych rock, hard funk, and soul. It&#8217;s the work of an assured craftsman with a preferred set of sonic parameters, and shows off the band&#8217;s skill in a lucid, loose fashion. The lo-fi sizzle and compression gives it the feel of an artefact, a lost treasure transmitted through decades of overdubbed tapes which matches the stunning and occasionally unsettling artwork for the cover by VICE-featured illustrator Steph Hope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size-18\" lang=\"x-size-18\">The band have successfully drawn on the psychedelic as well as the electronic and indie &#8211; you\u2019d be forgiven for making comparisons to the likes Unknown Mortal Orchestra or Khruangbin here. Orions Belte sound like they\u2019re in their own galaxy &#8211; a galaxy where they are sound tracking cosmic movies that haven\u2019t been made yet, where landscapes are coloured in as they\u2019re hurtled past and where music\u00a0is the only language spoken by\u00a0everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"size-17\" lang=\"x-size-17\"><strong>Orions Belte is<\/strong>:<br \/>\n\u00d8yvind Blomstr\u00f8m &#8211; Guitar, pedal steel<br \/>\nChris Holm &#8211; Bass, vocals, keyboards<br \/>\nKim \u00c5ge Furuhaug &#8211; Drums, programming<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Orions Belte have\u00a0premiered the video for\u00a0their new\u00a0single Atlantic Surfing, which is lifted from\u00a0their debut album &#8216;Mint&#8217; which is due out via Jansen on August 17th. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=29346\" title=\"Orions Belte share &#8216;Atlantic Surfing&#8217; video\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29347,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[23,28,29,30],"tags":[7540,7308,7542,7541],"class_list":["post-29346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie","category-music","category-music-video","category-new-release","tag-atlantic-surfing","tag-jansen","tag-mint","tag-orions-belte"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Orions-Belte-2-photo-credit-Julia-Marie-NaglestadEven-Kjelby_preview.jpeg?fit=2048%2C993&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-7Dk","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":26664,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=26664","url_meta":{"origin":29346,"position":0},"title":"Death By Unga Bunga share new single &#8216;Into The Night&#8217;","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"September 3, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Norwegian band Death by Unga Bunga have shared their new single, Into the Night, the B-side off their brand new 7\", which comes out via Jansen Records on September 8th.
