After an extensive national tour in Norway, an album
release and an invitation to join this years
official popkomm-showcase, Washington has this fall
shown themselves to be one of the finest acts in
Norway these days. A great show at Popkomm lead to
an immediate booking to Crossroads / Rockpalast
Festival in Bonn, Germany at the 8th of March 2005
with a following European tour. The show will be
broadcasted at WDR Rockpalast in may with an average
of 150.000 viewers.
The young trio from Troms° has just released their
debut album ôA New Order Risingö . The album was
produced by Lars Lien (the producer of Motorpsycho)
in Brygga Studios, Trondheim. The album has received
solely great reviews by the Norwegian press.
Washington key-man is Rune Simonsen. He is the
composer and writer of all the material. Devinely
gifted, his voice can surely melt ice and must have
been gotten to accompany the aurora borealis (
northern lights). Spending almost 6 of the yearÆs 12
months in total darkness up north, those northern
lights just might have played a slight role in the
bands melancholy sound. It is low-voiced and
sincere, it is fabulous, it is dismal and beautiful.
It is not assumed, but as real and credible as one
only could wish.
Washington has been predicted a great future, and
has been said to be the inheritors of the melancholy
rock throne. Norway has produced a lot of fine acts
like Madrugada and Midnight Choir to mention a few.
Still Washington has managed to grow their own
distinctive sound.
Rune Simonsen has to put up with the fact that he is
being compared to a lot of different singers. Thom
Yorke, Tim Buckley , Jeff Buckley, Jim Morrison, Tom
McRae are a few. The fact that they all have
tremendous great vocals, gives you an idea of what
his and Washington potential is.
The Glitterhouse version of the album contains 2
bonus tracks.
Washington are:
Rune Simonsen - Voice and guitar Esko Pedersen -
Drums Andreas H°yer - Bass "Rune Simonsens intense,
almost crying voice brings back memories of Jeff
Buckley" VG, Stein ╪stb° (norwayÆs biggest
newspaper)
