Minor Majority - Napkin Poetry

2019 marked Minor Majority`s 20 years anniversary as a band and they celebrated by releasing a brand new album called "Napkin Poetry" - 10 years after the previous album release "Either Way I Think You Know." The title of the album suggests both something light and something heavy - something spontaneous and something that is thoughtful and ambitious.
"Napkin Poetry" contains 12 new songs that were mostly recorded live in Ocean Sound Studio on Giske first week in April, 2018. The songs are - with two exceptions - written by Pål Angelskår, while the lyrics are mainly written in collaboration with with Sjur Lyseid. On the new album you will find more of the catchy, well-arranged pop songs that gave Minor Majority so much radio airplay in the mid 2000s, but also slow-moving, grand rock songs in the same landscape as Spain and Tindersticks at their most melodic. The band themselves mention The Cardigans, The Jayhawks, Elliott Smith and Neil Young's Crazy Horse as important inspirations. Roar Nilsen's production is open and warm and captures the band Minor Majority more clearly than on previous releases.
