funguson has existed since 1994 and has always consisted of PÃ¥l Ingholm (guitar/vocals), Espen Helvig (bass/guitar/vocals and Tom Bye (drums). The trio has released several singles and EP's, and the highly acclaimed debut album "Penguin Lovegame".
"Indie Ocean" is recorded at bubblesound studios with help from El Caco drummer Thomas Fredriksen, mixed by Lars Erik Westby at H10 Productions and mastered by HÃ¥kan Ã…kesson at Cutting Room, Sweden.
The band is inspired by music from four decades. In a way you can say that the typical funguson sound would be to mix 60`s 12-string Rickenbacker guitars with floating modulation effects from the 70`s space/prog rock, 80`s synthesizers and walls of fuzz from the 90's US east coast rock scene. The instruments used on this album are authentic from the music periods listed above, played through vintage valve amplifiers and processed through obscure analogue signal sources.
PÃ¥l and Espen have written and sing half of the material each, which gives the album a dynamic sound.
"Indie Ocean" is released by Mas-Kina Recordings and distributed by Musikkoperatørene.
Through the years funguson has played with great acts like Mogwai, Sebadoh, Stereolab, Karate, Steve Westfield, The Soundtrack of Our Lives and Bel Canto, won "The So What! Award" in 1997 (Best Norwegian band) and become a solid live act.
