I Was a King - I Was a King

An all-star line up - New Norwegian sensation, FRODE STROMSTAD. ANNE LISE FROKEDAL, (front person for Harry's Gym) and EMIL NIKOLAISEN (from the band Serena- Maneesh) team up with SUFJAN STEVENS, DANIELSON and LADYBUG TRANSISTOR. Their eponymous sophomore effort was recorded over three days at Marlborough Farms in Brooklyn, along with Emil Nikolaisen (Serena-Maneesh), Sufjan Stevens, Daniel Smith (Danielson) and Gary Olson (Ladybug Transistor). Produced by I Was a King and Danielson, the album was mixed by Nick Terry (Primal Scream, the Libertines, Klaxons). Compared to the likes of Neutral Milk Hotel, Teenage Fan club and Guided By Voices, I Was King take ramshackle rock and squeeze it through a dream-pop filter, evoking the most colorful slice of 90's nostalgia.
