░ ▒▓█ ▓██ ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ 120 days had its first rehersal autumn 2001 in ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ their small hometown, kristiansund, on the ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ north-westcoast of norway. the band consisted ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ of four 19 year old friends jonas dahl, arne ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ kvalvik, kjetil ovesen and σdne meisfjord. they ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ called themselves the beautiful people ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ in 2002 the band moved to oslo, to be closer to ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ the music-center of norway and to focus 100% on ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ their music. in oslo the whole band moved ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ together in a caravan-trailer. here they lived ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ for 4 months. in these intense months the only ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ things they did were rehearse. but by living in ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ the caravan trailer they had to instantly ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ struggle with junkies breaking in, so in the ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ end they had to give up and move out. but by ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ the time the 120 days sound was created ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ early in 2004 the band released their ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ critically acclaimed first ep titled sedated ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ times on the small oslo label public demand ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ records (see amg review under). late 2004 they ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ released their second ep, this time a ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ selftitled 5 track ep. this ep caused quite a ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ stir in norway. and after the band`s gig at ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ by:larm in norway (the norwegian equivalent to ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ south by southwest) the band sent shockwaves ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ through a lot of industry people, and the gig ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ resulted in the band being booked to both the ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ reading and leeds festival and the sonar ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ festival, and this after two norway only ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ releases. also the new york label vice records ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ (bloc party, the streets, death from above ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ 1979) was deeply impressed by the gig and ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ started chasing the band. meanwhile the band ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ continued to prepare for their debut album. by ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ this time the band had found their home with ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ the norwegian label smalltown supersound (jaga ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ jazzist, lindstr°m, kim hiorth°y, bj°rn torske) ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ their selftitled debut album was produced by ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ the band themselves and recorded in oslo`s ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ crystal canyon studios in january and february ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ 2006. the album was mixed by j°rgen sir ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ dupermann trµen and the band in duper studio, ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ bergen, in april 2006 ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ 120 days' debut album will be released in the ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ autumn of 2006 on vice records in usa licensed ██▓ █▓▒ ░

░ ▒▓█ ▓██ all music guide about 120 days: ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ very few bands release really remarkable debut ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ singles, and very few norwegian bands manage to ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ excite parts of the international music ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ intelligentsia. with sedated times, young ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ oslo-based quartet 120 days, then known as the ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ beautiful people, managed both. their sound is ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ both original and modern enough to fit in with ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ the so-called "new rock" of the early 2000s. ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ their use of a drum machine and kraftwerk-esque ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ analogue synthesizers rather than guitars sets ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ them apart from most of the leading ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ international neo-rock bands. but there's a ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ certain desperate-yet-tuneful tone to singer ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ σdne meisfjord's distorted voice that made ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ several critics rightfully compare him with a ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ young iggy pop and julian casablancas of the ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ strokes. but 120 days have something more going ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ for them. not that they are timeless, of ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ course. nothing is. but their songs have these ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ irresistible pop hooks and vocal melodies that ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ could have made them hits in pretty much every ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ one of the last four or five decades. ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ high-tempo opener "every day" is so bold that ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ it opens with a ultra-catchy chorus and just ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ gets better, deservedly making it an indie hit ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ in norway. "fucked myself up on a friday night" ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ is a successful update of the velvet ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ underground circa 1968, sounding dirty and ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ messy as hell, backed by industrial-sounding ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ noise. the real standout, though, is the third ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ and last song, "sedated times." it's a classic ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ tale of small-town misery with a poetically ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ desperate wanting-to-get-out-before-it-kills-me ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ theme of such great artists as bruce ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ springsteen and fellow scandinavian pop poet ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ hσkan hellstr÷m. the lyrics, whether knowingly ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ or not, even evoke classic greek tragedy in the ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ couplet "i've seen to much/let me go blind," ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ and manage to do so without ever going over the ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ top. this is powerful stuff from a band that ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ undoubtedly has a great recording future ahead ██▓ █▓▒ ░
░ ▒▓█ ▓██ of it ██▓ █▓▒ ░
