Beauties Never Die

Bergen< Norway native Siri Walberg (aka Sissy Wish) released her first record in 2003, the Six Feet Tall EP and quickly grew to critical acclaim. I 2005, she won a Norwegian Grammy for her debut full-length You May Breathe. Her US debut, You May Breathe, received rave reviews and is one of the highest critically acclaimed debut albums ever to be released in Norway.

Beauties Never Die was recorded at Duper Studio, in Bergen, with the Norwegian super-producer and wiz-kid, Jorgen Traen (Sondre Lerche, Kayzers Orchestra, Jaga Jazzist and Sister Sonny), but also for his work with hardcore underground stuff, like Jazzkammer, The Golden Serenades, Toy and a million of really weird projects. Gone are the banjos and the acoustic guitars and the jingly universe of the first releases, instead you find yourself in a world of cheap synthesizers, toy organs and fuzz-guitars; the songs are possibly the most daring pieces of music Sissy Wish has ever delivered, and the record is filled with both complex structures, unexpected arrangements and ultra-catchy melodies, all backed up by hot, pumpy drums and basses.
