“In the northern parts of Norway, a place where the sun either never sets or never rises, time and landscapes and sound are static things, that changes too slow for anyone to notice. During the endless summer sun of 2013, the drones and musical landscapes of No Way Black was recorded. A record with slowly evolving music, from almost nothing to walls of sound.

Even though being drony, repetitious and even minimalistic at points, the record have room for a lot of energy and spontaneousness. Energy that is slowly released into the tracks, maybe even without the listener realizing it before its over.
