Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars I've long praised the wonderful work of I Was a King , and for a bit I felt like I was the only one that noticed. It seems that wasn't true at all (thank goodness) with the band getting a touch of grace on production duties; Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub and Robyn Hitchcock share duties on You Love It Here . If that's not enough to sway you towards the excellent work of this Norwegian trio, [...]

One of the band's I can't get enough of is I Was A King , a great power-pop act from Norway. They're about to release their third album, You Love It Here on October 5th overseas (the band is currently looking for US representation!), and if you don't love this song, something's got to be wrong with you. It's got an effortless cool to it, with a wonderful central hook and a melody that's going to have you salivating for more from the group. If you needed further proof [...]

Last weekend Andi and I visited Anacortes and walked around the dock, discussing our future as polo-shirt-wearing yacht owners and shopping for the ideal water home. Sure, this fantasy may never come to pass, and while I may find myself in a polo shirt now and again, that doesn't mean the boat life is for me. Still, seeing middle-aged to retirees playing cards on the stern and barbecuing sure made the life seem relaxing. Fitting, then, that the night before our Anacortes venture, I played a song off Pale Sunday's new [...]

I haven't had much time of late to write. The house project of repainting walls, painting trim, pulling up carpets, and laying down bamboo has absolutely dominated my time. That and working on my BMW, which in the past few weeks has received a full tune-up (with exception of replacing points and cleaning the carb). I'm hoping that come mid-week, I'll be back in my normal post routine. As time has been limited, I thought "Desert Island Picks" would be a good topic for the week. Unfortunately, I left off [...]

One of the bands that I've really enjoyed following over the last several years has been Norway's I Was a King . They've just issued a really small run of a split 73 EP on Splendour Records with Half-Handed Cloud , and I'm really enjoyhing their effort here. There's a great swirling melody that is underscored by the guitar work, one of the prominent instruments in this band's repertoire. If you haven't had an opportunity to check out this band, the time is right [...]

Friday evening was a mad house. Getting into the station wasn't the issue, as I expect it will be in the coming weeks now that winter is upon us; it was the transition. Transitioning from one on-air personality to another is a bit nerve-wracking. The quarters are cramped, the mic is hot, and you have to do your best not to step on their toes as they wrap their show and you begin yours. And when it's time to fly, you have to remember which buttons should be lit and which ones shouldn't. After the [...]

Borrowing heavily from the Elephant 6 movement, particularly Olivia Tremor Control, this Norwegian group comes across unflatteringly defiant in the face of pop convention.

SEE THE LEAVES![Record Review: I Was A King [Old Friends, Sounds Familyre Records]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3176243_lg.jpg)
by Sebastian Ruan Though the Norwegian psych-rockers, I Was A King, stay true to their form, that is psych-ballads, each song on their new 30-minute psych-parade Old Friends , I am left feeling bored. It’s a nice treat for the band to condense the instrumentation and composition of Old Friends into a sitcom-length of time. But even a bad sitcom leaves you with a lesson or a mediocre joke; I Was A [...]

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars A few years back I Was a King burst into my life, and I couldn't have been happier. They recalled bits of my favorite under-appreciated band, The Comas , as well as hints of Teenage Fanclub . On their latest outing, Old Friends , the group adds a few little twists to the foray, though nothing that ultimately changes the established sound of the group. From the minute you get into opening track "The [...]

The time is almost upon us for the great return of I Was a King . Their new album, Old Friends , is heading your way January 25th, and while we've previewed some tracks , this is one of the standouts from the record, though I admittedly love it all. It's got a little bit more exploration than their traditional power-pop, using horns to build the wall of sound behind their sugary coating. Like many of the songs on this album, it gets right to the point, hitting you [...]
