For det andre har dei makta å ta med seg noko av det fanden-i-valdske frå konsertane. For det første har røynsle på scena hjelpt på sjølvtilliten og lagt grunnlaget for ein tettare ensemblesound.
Culturen er, ikkje overraskande, ei langt meir velluka plate enn debuten. Arrangementa er som på første plata gjorde i felleskap. No deler dei ansvar med den andre trommeslagaren Hans Hulbækmo og gitaristen Lars Ove Fossheim. På debuten stod initiativtakarane Anja Lauvdal og Heida Karine Johannesdottir Mobeck for komposisjonanen. Berre Øystein Aarnes Vik har erstatta Joakim Heibø på trommer, men mykje anna er ikkje som for to og eit halvt år sidan. “Culturen” was recorded and mixed by Morgan Nicolaysen at Propeller Studio in Oslo.īesetninga til det store bandet Skadedyr er mest uendra frå debutplata Kongekrabbe som kom ut hausten 2013. Broen, Jenny Hval, Susanna, Moskus, Snøskred, the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, Skrap and Hullyboo are just a small number of the projects that various members of the band are currently involved in. Even so, they all agree that Skadedyr is a band with a capital B, not a project.
The members of the band are extraordinarily active, and are known from an increasing number of other exciting musical contexts. The album is mostly instrumental, but as on the debut album one poem by Ivar Aasen is included: the title cut, “Culturen”. They were also responsible for the imaginative material on the debut album, but on this second record several of the other band members have also contributed material. Skadedyr was initiated by Heida Karine Jóhannesdóttir Mobeck and Anja Lauvdal. This time we encounter a more acoustic-sounding band, and it is easier to hear that this is a more of a coordinated team than before. In the course of a short time Skadedyr has achieved a reputation as a dynamic live band, and the new album approaches their live spirit more closely than their debut album, “Kongekrabbe”, which had a more stringent form of expression. Their music is both accessible and uncompromising, and stylistically they could be described as an octopus, whose tentacles reach out to a multitude of musical genres. With a brass section, guitars, keyboards, vocals, two drummers, strings and accordion, they are positively bursting with musical images and narratives. The group consists of 12 musicians in all, and an even larger number of instruments. Skadedyr is something out of the ordinary. “Skadedyr’s the kind of outfit that’s as happy serving up moments of raucous psychedelia as others peaceful and melodious, and able to comfortably switch between them in a flash.”
