TOSKEDALEN

ELEKTRO OMPANIET

Elektro Ompaniet’s debut album “Toskedalen”, released on Vossa Jazz festival’s label, showcases the Bergen-based collective’s unique blend of improvisational jazz and electronic music. Active since 2002, the band creates a sound that appeals to both listeners and dancers, featuring persistent grooves, loops, and programmed effects.

While drawing comparisons to Jaga Jazzist, Elektro Ompaniet establishes its own identity through its talented six-member lineup. Their instruments range from saxophones and trumpet to tuba and accordion, alongside various electronic elements. As their first full-length release, “Toskedalen” serves as an exciting entry in the Norwegian jazz-electronic fusion scene, potentially attracting younger listeners looking to explore beyond mainstream music. This debut album positions Elektro Ompaniet as a promising act in the experimental music landscape.
