简介:  “It would be hard to overstate the sheer   fun of listening to this aural sugar rush.”   The Sunday Times (4/5)      “Stromstad’s gift for locating innocent melody amid noise, and the methodical way he conveys apparent   chaos, hints at a subversive talent.”   The Independent (3/5)      “Royally briliant”   NME (8/10)      “Ramshackle rock squeezed through a dreampop filter”   Guardian Band of the Day         “Losing something good for something better” is the notion of songs written in a lost decade between the sixties and the seventies, or maybe a forgotten year in the nineties. It is spontaneous indiepop, exquisitely constructed in the origo of the genre’s soul:   Unforgettable earcatching tunes and the sound of popsychedelia, caught in a moment gone too soon.      I was a King is Frode Strømstads unique voice and songwriting. Emil Nikolaisen (Serena-Maneesh) joins on bass and drums, and shares producer brains with Frode.
