The Alexandria Quartet

Norwegian Indie-Rock that sounds like it was born in Manchester.

Actually the band have now relocated to London but this was recorded in Bergen and a fine bit of pop/rock it is too.

Oystein Braut’s guitar work wrings the changes and carries the melody along while Kim Age Furuhaug drums away with a metronomic and deliberate attack. Martin Skalnes in the meantime performs vocal and keyboard duties with passion and not a little talent.

Debut album is due in early ’09 and this is good taster to it.
