  • Book of Norma

    NOVO020

    Artist: Norma

    Label: Novoton

    Norma's music is a mixture of ambient, kraut, noise, electronica, indie often with a strict, repetitive bass/drum pattern and a magnificent, wide and almost hypnotic sound. This is rich, panoramic music with a warmth that you don’t hear often from other bands trying to do something in this genre. German kraut is one obvious thing, but also the spacerock of Spiritualized and Spacemen3 comes to mind. Newer references may be Silverbullit, 120 days, Serena Maneesh and the Lionheart Brothers.

    Some words about Book of Norma:
    "Ok, Ok, OK …… So I know I said a week, but this album came my way this week by Swedish group Norma, entitled Book Of Norma. It’s more than a stunning debut album, it’s bloody fantastic! It’s like sex on your stereo. Hope you’re getting how much I love this album."
    Mark, Rock Sellout

    "Dark, haunting and absolutely brilliant new single Waste by Swedish trio Norma."
    Stytzer, Hits In The Car

    "Like a weirdly obvious and dreamy mix between Neu!, Soundtrack of Our Lives and Sigur Ros Swedish Norma descends from the music heaven. Book of Norma is complete genre anarchy where vulnerable melancholy is efficiently mixed with electronic soundscapes and minimalistic krautrock steam machines generating a feeling that never want to stop."
    Christian von Essen, Skivkoll.se

  • Waste

    NOVO0201

    Artist: Norma

    Label: Novoton

    Waste is the first single taken off Norma's debut album "Book of Norma" (release November 10) and is a superb piece of post-artrock/kraut. A must for all fans of this kind of music. With this single you also get a iPod version the really cool video made by Johannes Helje. Enjoy!

    NOVO013

    Artist: Norma

    Label: Novoton

    "I was blown away when I first heard this track from the swedish trio Norma's debut ep, out on Novoton now. Their music is a mixture of ambient, kraut, noise, electronica, indie with a strict, repetitive bass/drum pattern and a magnificent, wide and almost hypnotic sound. This is rich, panoramic music with a warmth that I don't hear often from other bands trying to do something in this genre. I'm also amazed by the composition and the small details that suddenly surfaces and surprises. When the main song on the single is 8:33 minutes long, I guess those surprises are kind of necessary...
    I keep getting a whole range of different references in my head when I hear this music, - german kraut is one obvious thing, but also the spacerock of Siritualized and Spacemen3 comes to mind. Newer references may be my fellow norwegians 120 days, Serena Maneesh and the Lionheart Brothers." (Knut, Eardrums Music Blog)
