HEROES & ZEROS come from Norway and should not be confused with the Dutch working-class Oi band HEROS& ZEROS. The Norwegians, who play the instruments as a trio, create completely different music. The music of Hans, Lars, and Arne wants to be heard and discovered. The songs are sound carpets that let you sink in. Hans's vocals give the songs a certain sympathetic connection to rock. In the faster songs, this fits like a glove, and in the calmer songs, Hans's voice not only carries the songs but also gives them a certain groundedness with its rough quality. Almost a bit earthy. You can close your eyes and start to dream. The band fits both in a hot club with sweaty, partying people and in the solitude of the Norwegian fjords. The booklet transports the listener to Norway with its atmospheric black-and-white images, truly reviving the longing for Scandinavia.
While I was writing the last lines, I was listening to the last song on the album. It is by far the calmest and most dreamy track on the CD. The other nine songs mostly move forward and are somewhere in the realm of cool, atmospheric indie rock and rocking garage. The melodies are catchy, and Hans's singing is emotional and captivating. Hans carries the songs, giving them character and strength.
In their home country, the trio has risen to become one of the most well-known bands with “STRANGE CONSTELLATIONS.” 120 concerts in 2 years, music awards, chart placements. In short, the whole program of music media marketing. That the band is not plastic but real, genuine, and really good is shown on “STRANGE CONSTELLATIONS.” The album is a beacon in the indie and alternative scene.
