Immediately after the success with their previous album In the Sun in the Rain the octet was back in the studio. Like an eight-headed genius impressing us with catchy compositions and lyrics, they also produced the album themselves.   With Steve Lacey, Anderson Paak, Bootsy Collins, Gorillaz, Sharon Jones and Amy Winehouse being the inspirations behind the album, we get a hint of which soundscapes shapes the album. Fieh, fronted by Sofie Tollefsb?l accompanied by the proficient musicians J?rgen Kasbo (guitar), Ola ?verby (drums), Kai von der Lippe (keyboards), Solveig Wang (synth and backing vocals), Lyder ?vre?s R?ed (trumpet, percussion, and horn arrangement), Andreas Rukan (bass) and Thea Arnesdotter (backing vocals), has once again created funk songs with great hit potential, and this time with a harder and somewhat meaner sound.  Behind groovy compositions catchy beats, writer, and lead vocalist Sofie Tollefsb?l uncovers concerns and deeper questions with her raw and versatile voice - delicate and tender in one moment and domineering in the next.   III embodies love in all its colors, life as a musician, grief, alcohol, traveling and ambitions. The songs \"Full Time (Part Time Allthetime)\" and \"My Dream\" describe the life as a musician where goals and dreams are fundamental to carry on. The single \"Texas Baby\" was written when Fieh was on their way to the South by Southwest festival in Texas where a hint of surrealism hit the band. The album's lyrical depth and sometimes melancholic themes are often concealed by a lively tempo, but some tracks welcome a slower beat as a graceful variation. As an example - the ballad \"Daylight\", a sensitive song about existential despair that culminates in a beautiful and shaky guitar solo, contributes to a genuine, heartfelt summary of III.  Fieh emerged with breakthrough single \"Glu\" in 2017. They quickly rose to local and international fame, thanks to broad support from the likes of Clash Magazine, DIY Magazine, and The Fader, among others. Widespread touring took them to venues all over Europe, including the main stage at Norway's biggest festival, ?yafestivalen in both 2018 and 2022.   Through music videos, press photos, styling, artwork, and scenography the bands striking creative and colorful expression has become unmistakable through the years. Continuing this path, the artwork for their upcoming album is made by Darius Moreno known from the GoldLink's previous cover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jansen Plater Produksjon","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50434168488267,"sku":"2020744","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50434167701835,"sku":"2020743","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_cf30248e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726886329"},{"product_id":"in-the-sun-in-the-rain","title":"In The Sun In The Rain","description":"\u003cp\u003eLike D'Angelo's the Vanguard, straight outta the rural Norwegian countryside, Norwegian 7-piece Fieh are ready to unleash the follow-up to their 2019 debut album. Cold Water Burning Skin was fittingly described as “future soul” by God Is in the TV and “left field R\u0026amp;B” by Clash Magazine, and the band continues in the same vein, although simultaneously broadening their spectrum. Centered around the groove, Fieh’s new music includes the funk bangers that initially introduced the band, but also more experimental and orchestral songs. Citing The Roots, Joni Mitchell, Erykah Badu, The Beatles and Solange as inspirations should give a hint as to what Fieh sounds like. Brimming with creativity and supported by a funky backbone, it’s still the songs that are the foundation. The lyrics revolve around themes of everyday life, incidents, people and love – real stories from real life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn The\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSun In The Rain\u003c\/i\u003e was recorded with famed Norwegian musician and producer Lars Horntveth (Jaga Jazzist, Susanne Sundfør, The Staves, Kimbra) who definitely brought his skills and eclectic tastes into the mix. Speaking of mixing, that part was done by the legendary “Analog Ninja” Russell Elevado. Known for his work with D’Angelo, Angélique Kidjo, The Roots, among others, Elevado has amplified the band’s intentions in the studio, and given increased character to the record’s sound.

Gifted instrumentalists who hark back to the age of smoky clubs, passionate fans, and musicians who lived and breathed their craft. Taking their cue from some of those greats, their songs have plenty of grit and fuzz, a rough-hewn quality that adds warmth and character. Fieh have poured all their influences into their debut album, a modern, youthful record that burns with attitude and the tight-knit bonhomie that comes from teenage friendships.
