Four years on from their Edvard Prize-winning debut Krympende Klode, producer/composer Jørgen Træen and guitarist/composer Stein Urheim return with a new album titled Galant Galakse. Træen, known for his adventurous studio work as Sir Dupermann and collaborations across countless genres, meets Urheim’s rich palette of folk, blues, and global traditions with a playful, exploratory spirit. The two have crossed paths in various configurations over the years, producing, mixing and guesting, but their work as a duo lands somewhere else entirely. Grounded in a shared fascination for the outer edges of acoustic and electronic music, their long-running collaboration continues to draw on global string instruments, modular synths, and a mutual love of pioneers like Harry Partch, Raymond Scott and Delia Derbyshire. On the upcoming Galant Galakse, the Norwegian pair explore the fertile ground where experimental electronics and acoustic sound worlds collide, filtered through a singular Scandinavian lens.

Galant Galakse arrives on August 22nd through Action Jazz and they are enticing us with the first single, the warm and cosmic ‘Entrance/Exit’. Take a listen now.
