Palace of Pleasure made their debut on the Norwegian
Electronica scene in 1996, and have released five
albums, of which two got the Norwegian Grammy award
for best dance album.(1998 and 2000 respectively.) The
band have also released six singles, two EP’s and
contributed to several compilations, such as
Nicolette: DJ-kicks and Sunday Best vol. 3.

The band’s sound is hard to categorise, as P.O.P. play
everything they feel like playing,


but dubby electronica is often a fitting description.
A strong affection for analog equipment, deep bass,
and strong melodies can be heard in all of their
music, and there is always traces of dub in a P.O.P.
track.

Palace of Pleasure have toured in Norway and Europe
numerously, and played the major Scandinavian festivals.
The band has a very good live reputation,
and a strong stage presence. A unique style of
filtering and Echoing has been developed over the
years, and this coupled with all kinds of live
instruments and strong vocals, ensure an unusual live
experience for an electronic act.
New of the year is a Horn Quartet that blows your mind away.

P.O.P. have also produced music for television,
cooperated with performance artists
and theatre groups, remixed other electronic acts from
the Oslo scene (and a-ha…), and written text and music
for a children’s sci-fi radio drama.

PS. The band has very soon finished their 6th album.
