Bjerga/Iversen: Only the Best will do
Norwegian Sound Sculptors Berja/Iversen are busy putting the finishing touches to a “Best Of”. Currently titled "(Go with the flow) like a twig on the shoulders of a mighty stream", the album will collect pieces from the past four years, documenting their rise from the fusion of two more or less obscure experimental artists into a collaborative project and finally to one of today’s leading duos of the Noise/Drone scene. During these formative years, Bjerga/Iversen mainly built their reputation on two pillars: Their tireless live activities on the one hand, with tours taking them to Germany, Spain and the UK. And their prolific release policy on the other: Even though the assault of CDs has by now somewhat subsided, the Norwegians are still feeding their fans with a diet of a new full-length every 2-3 months. "(Go with the flow) like a twig on the shoulders of a mighty stream" (which, as we were told by Jan-M Iversen, was originally going to be called Reluctant Debutantes”) now binds both elements together on a release which has all the features of a virtual concert.
We’ll keep you updated on an exact release date and may even have some copies of this noisy brat of a musical gem to give away for you in the near future, so stay tuned.
