SPLAXXTER WATTS
is Andreas Ihlebaek and J.K. Furuheim (Safariari).
Here is what the press had to say about their
debut album "THE SHAKEOUT":

"The Shakeout" will be remembered as the Best Norwegian pop record
of the year! The album represents 44 minutes of the best pop music this country
has produced in God knows how long. A bursting hit parade!"
- Panorama -

"The musical highlight of the year."
- Universitas -

"Where is the fun and decadence in Norwegian music?
Where is the Norwegian Scissor Sisters?
Thank goodness we have Splaxxter Watts!"
- Dagbladet -

"Unpretentious charming funkfest that ruthlessly competes with stars such
as Justin Timberlake and Outkast"
- Dagsavisen -

"Norways Outkast will surprise you! Pop filled with musicality and humor!"
- BA -

"Splaxxter Watts is fun! It's impossible to sit still and impossible not to get caught in the fun"
- Romerikets Blad -

"As good as Scissor Sisters and Justin Timberlake!"
- Bergens Tidende -

"A melodic triumph! A pearl of an album!"
- SA -

"Bursting with musicality and richness of ideas. Just run and buy it!"
- Fredrikstad Blad -

"A very strong debut."
