Norwegian music these days are flourishing. In the midst of the country’s young alternative music scene you’ll find Listen to Girl, a duo that doesn’t sound like any other yet holds the ability to nudge those inner familiar spots. Their intimate sound functions as an invitation to be present, guiding one to explore new territory.
Listen to Girl is the combination of guitarist, singer and primus motor Christian Winther together with multi-instrumentalist and singer Ina Sagstuen. With alluring songwriting, an innovative mindset, to magical voices and a driving guitar, the duo embraces their love for post-punk, indie folk and bossa nova. It’s an experience of both something familiar and yet undiscovered.
"Long-term World" is produced by Listen to Girl, and they also play most instruments themselves, with added performances from some of Norway’s finest young musicians (who happen to be close friends, familiy and girlfriend): Anja Lauvdal (Broen, Moskus, Skrap) on synths and piano, Kyrre Laastad (Jenny Hval, Snøskred) and Andreas Winther (Megalodon Collective) on drums and percussion, Heida Mobeck (Skrap, Broen) on tuba and Magnus Nergaard (Monkey Plot, Torg) on bass. Long-term World is mixed by Marcus Forsgren (Jaga Jazzist, Bror Forsgren) and mastered by Helge Sten (Deathprod, Supersilent).
