Moon Relay // Kafé Hærverk

MOON RELAY Daniel Meyer Grønvold : Guitar Håvard Volden : Guitar Magnus Skavhaug Nergaard : Bass Christian Næss : Drums Visuals Anthony Barratt Moon Relay is an Oslo-based noise-rock group consisting of Daniel Meyer Grønvold, Håvard Volden, Magnus Skavhaug Nergaard and Christian Næss. Drawing on the fractured funk and machine-aesthetic of late Seventies/early Eighties post-punk and No Wave bands, plus the motorik-meets-electro rhythms of ‘Planet Rock'-style hip-hop, Oslo-based experimental rock quartet Moon Relay combines pin-sharp, real-time musicianship with a powerful conceptual punch. It’s a world where buzz-saw guitars mesh with disco handclaps on a series of hypnotically immersive instrumental grooves intersected by avant-garde collages of found sound and studio doodles. “IMI is a wake-up call that a fusion of genres can still be this much unexpected fun.” -Toneshift.net “A consistent tempo runs through all of these pieces like a titanium railing, and I cling to it until my knuckles turn white.” - ATTN:magazine “sexy sinister thudding scifi vibes that motor right down your spine to your grateful hips” - The Quietus “ a highly vibrant record. “ - Vital Weekly “These miasmic and brittle soundworlds are chiselled with post-digital precision, imaginatively reconstructing a lost, steamy New York a long way from cool Oslo” - Jazzwise
