Torske's debut album under his own name was Nedi Myra' in 1998 on UK label Ferox. After that he released a string of singles with Svek label, among them the seminal Jegvilværesøppelmann' (that translates to I Want To Be A Binman' in English). Also on Svek was the single Sexy Disco', cited by Todd Terje as the first time I listened to disco in a non-ironic way'. The "Trøbbel" album was released in 2001 and in 2005 he signed to Smalltown Supersound and released the two 12' singles KoktKveite' and Ny Lugg/Kortbaklangpåsiden' and the albums Feil Knapp' (2007) and Kokning' (2009). In 2010 he released Oppkok' 12' EP with remixes by DJ Harvey and Todd Terje. 2013 saw the release of Kok' EP which contained additional material from the Kokning' album sessions.

Last FM Information on Bjorn Torske

Norway has always had an unusual musical climate. At one end of its spectrum is black metal; at the other, the sort of zero-gravity electronica that seems tailor-made for Cafe del Mar compilations. Bjorn Torske falls towards the latter camp - his remix of Royksopp’s Eple brought him brief recognition in 2001 - but he’s clearly also a fan of weirder sounds: The Residents and 23 Skidoo. Feil Knapp dances between genres so brilliantly that by the time you get to Kapteinens Skjegg, a mix of dark, digital dub and Viking horns, you won’t know whether you’re in Babylon or Valhalla. But you’ll like it. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
