Bjorn Torske Artist Bio

Norway has always had an unusual musical climate. At one end of its spectrum is black metal; at the other, the sort of zero-gravity electronica that seems tailor-made for Cafe del Mar compilations. Bjorn Torske falls towards the latter camp – his remix of Royksopp’s Eple brought him brief recognition in 2001 – but he’s clearly also a fan of weirder sounds: The Residents and 23 Skidoo. Feil Knapp dances between genres so brilliantly that by the time you get to Kapteinens Skjegg, a mix of dark, digital dub and Viking horns, you won’t know whether you’re in Babylon or Valhalla. But you’ll like it. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
