What Was Ours Can't Be Yours

What Was Ours Can't Be Yours is the second album from critically-acclaimed Norwegian four-piece Harrys Gym, released on new Oslo based label Splendour (started by the management company representing Lindstrøm, Jaga Jazzist, Serena Maneesh and others). Blending beguiling pop with ethereal sounds, Harry's Gym create epic, glacial and distinctly Nordic soundscapes guided by vocalist/songwriter Anne Lise Frøkedal's hauntingly beautiful vocals. They chose to work with up-and-coming British producer James Rutledge on their follow-up to their self-titled debut album. Rutledge and Anne Lise Frøkedal bonded at once over the phone from Oslo to London, where they discussed Vashti Bunyan, folk music and the crossover between programming and running naked in the forest.
