Happy New Year! ☾

We start 2025 with a look back at 2024: To remind ourselves of the everything that has happened and to remember to celebrate and, learn from, it; to have fun making slides that look like these slides look; to say thank you.

Thank you, Henrik Fuglesang for solid advice and help, Six Bit Deep and Jacob Brøndlund for lending your golden ears, LowPress for the new friendship and the rad merch, Musikforlæggerne, KODA and MPO for the support, Luger Denmark, smash!bang!pow! and Roskilde Festival for live adventures, to Politiken and Louis Raaschou for having and sharing our talk, Kizzer, Thinh, Konrad and Ville Vidø for being veritable stars, and to Zoumer, Blikfang, Debbie Sings, Aperly High, Drop, BestBoy, Atusjii and Less Win for the music, the adventures around it and for the friendship.

Most of all: Thank you to those of you we don't know, and those we do, for listening and sharing. We love this music and it’s where so much of our time goes - it means more than know ♡

OIL066 - Atusji - Slowboat til Asakusa

Today, we're releasing Atusji's third album, Slowboat til Asakusa. Terkel Atsushi Røjle (Atusji) grew up in Japan and the album title refers to a canal boatride that his family and a family they were friends with used to take together. When Terkel's family moved to Denmark, the two families' paths diverged and the thought of the different routes that life takes has become a prism through which to look at culture and mind; the different ways we deal with identity and with loss.

It's a beautiful album and we're happy to finally share it with you

Rumour, and this concrete photographic evidence, suggest that Atusji is in GAFFA Danmark, but you *should* do your own research: We have, once or twice, used a program called Photoshop to manipulate images for our own nefarious purposes on this page.

We are hyyyyped to announce the release of "Mr. Misery", the new EP from art-pop-punk songwriter and producer, APERLY HIGH: https://aperly.lnk.to/misery

With a mix of play with musical styles and pensive and hooky lyricism, Aperly High has pushed genre boundaries without losing sight of the strong songs at the core of his music.

◮ ◮ ◮

"Mr. Misery", the title track, is a vibrant pop song that takes elements of indie, pop punk, country, and pop, perhaps settled somewhere in the vast musical terrain between Lene Marlin and Blink-182. The song critiques traditional masculine roles with a narrative of transformation and self-awareness.

We hope you’ll love this as much as we do ♥
