Тексты песен Flunk
Информация о артисте
Они именуют себя «Flunk», что означает «полный провал на экзаменах» или «незачет». Они рождены в Норвегии, но известны практически везде. Известность к ним пришла с выходом кавер-версии сингла New Order — "Blue Monday". Прекрасное сочетание таких музыкальных стилей как dream pop, downtempo, dub, nu-jazz — рекомендуется всем, кто неравнодушен к музыке Air, Massive Attack, Cocteau Twins. Ну а представить этот норвежский коллектив логичнее всего с их лучшего альбома 2004 года «Morning Star».
Flunk — это, прежде всего, Ulf Nygaard — создатель и идейный вдохновитель коллектива, отвечающий в группе за программинг, гитарист Jo Bakke, а также их очаровательная вокалистка Anja Øyen Vister.
Днём рождения коллектива считается новогодняя вечеринка 2001 года. Тогда в одном из клубов Осло Ульф и Джо представили свои первые совместные треки. С того момента у группы вышло несколько синглов и альбомов (первый, «For Sleepyheads Only», в апреле 2002-ого). Основным выпускающим лейблом является Beatservice Records. Музыканты практичны и выпускают свои альбомы в двойном варианте, один из которых предназначается для продаж исключительно на территории Соединённых Штатов.
Одним из первых синглов группы стал кавер на нестареющий хит New Order — "Blue Monday". Оригинальная версия нетленки манчестерских гениев, спетая под акустическую гитару, явилась в некотором роде визитной карточкой группы. Музыканты регулярно обращаются к творчеству именитых британских коллег. Так, на втором альбоме коллектива появилась перепевка «True Faith», а диск с ремиксами на «For Sleepyheads Only» вышел под названием «Treat Me Like You Do...» — строчка из всё того же «Blue Monday».
Flunk играют лёгкие, мелодичные песни. Приятный, тёплый вокал, много акустической гитары, аккуратные сэмплы. На живые выступления приглашается ещё и барабанщик Erik Ruud, который с 2012 года стал постоянным участником группы. Read more on Last.fm.

Flunk is a Norwegian electronic band consisting of producer Ulf Nygaard, guitarist Jo Bakke, drummer Erik Ruud, and vocalist Anja Øyen Vister.
The band began as a project between Ulf and Jo in Oslo, Norway in the winter of 2000-01. Starting out as an instrumental and sampled vocal project, they were signed for a track on a compilation by Beatservice Records in Winter 2001. On hearing the finished track, label manager Vidar Hanssen signed the unnamed band for a full album.
During early Summer 2001, Ulf and Jo recorded most of the album and Anja improvised the vocals. After their vocals, Jo layered the guitars, but it would be a year before the album would be completed and released.
In Spring 2002, the band was known as Flunk and they released their first single, a cover of New Order's Blue Monday in April. The track was well received in the UK and was included on numerous compilations in North America and Europe. Later in April, their debut album For Sleepyheads Only was released which garnered great reviews in Norway. With the success of their album, BBC invited them to do a recording session for the Radio 1 show The Blue Room in London. Shortly after Notting Hill Art's Club would become the location to their live debut. In the United States, they became signed to Guidance Recordings.
By Summer 2002, raving reviews were being returned by British electronica magazines and in July they played Norway's finest rock festival. In October For Sleepyheads Only was released in the US through Guidance Recordings. By November they played the London Jazz Festival.
Throughout 2003 their debut, For Sleepyheads Only was still being echoed across the globe in staggered releases with special editions released to Russia and Greece. Beatservice Records then went on to release Treat Me Like You Do (For Sleepyheads Only Remixed) in June. While their debut continued to make it's way around, the band wasted no time and began work on their second album for the majority of the year, which was recorded in Paris in October.
Their sophomore album, Morning Star was finished in March 2004 and saw a Norwegian release in May while the rest of the world received it in June. In 2005, Play America was released on Beatservice Records which included bonus tracks from the US version of Morning Star along with remixes.
A third effort, Personal Stereo was released in 2007, with the accompanying remix album Democracy following soon after. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
