about
There are several artists named 'Band of Gold'; 1) Gold comes in many carats, but rarely as noble as Band of Gold’s eponymous debut album. Because, what began as a pile of homemade demo recordings by singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Nina Elisabeth Mortvedt, now appears as a gilded whole. In co-operation with the duo’s other half, musician and producer Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen, Band of Gold has become a timeless album, full of musical details, the urge to explore and the genuine art of songwriting. An album crammed with ambitious pop music, just like good and innovative pop music is meant to sound like in 2015. There’s a lot of heart and soul behind Band of Gold, but also many working hours and long thought processes. For Nikolai it soon became clear that the goose bumps her music gave him wasn’t a coincidence, when he approached the song sketches Nina had sent him. Beautiful but desperate songs with her ethereal voice and a backing track consisting of a one-string guitar and Prince samples. He soon realized that his role in this project would go far beyond the traditional role of a producer. Band of Gold is a record where a lot of time has been spent in the studio. Not necessarily a lot of time on the perfect take, but a lot of time has been spent on experimenting towards the perfect detail and shade. Nina and Nikolai are the architects who have brought in musicians that have been able to process their joint musical ideas instead of colouring the music. Olaf
