While many are quick to point out influences such as the Kinks, Lou Reed and Talking Heads, Ex Norwegian do a fine job at coming across as a bit of fresh air. Much of the lyrics on Standby possess a subtle, edgy cynicism, with irresistible grooves and melodies that are plentiful too, as is the use of the all-powerful, scarily omnivorous mellotron.

VINYL FORMAT. There is no need to read in between the riffs or lines to have fun with Ex Norwegian, and there's always that unexpected irony to their sound. The band's love of music shines through making even their sad songs sound upbeat. Ex Norwegian got together in the summer of '08 on the sunny island of Miami Beach. Inspired and excited, the group released "Dance Trance Pants" on 7" vinyl.
