At first I thought this a Neil Young spoof band a la Natl Lampoon. But the music is dead serious and quality twangy alt folk western. Learning that this guy is from Norway only makes it more strange. After the twangy falsetto voice subsides (with my laughter) this becomes some of the finest alt shoegazer western ever. Sure enough the Europeans spit it back in our faces better than before yet again. Later songs drop the falsetto and smack of Mazzy Star, et al. Great shit.
