Unmissable Nights Out at The Fringe

Konradsen -&nbsp;the Norwegian duo of Jenny Marie Sabel and Eirik Vildgren - have established themselves as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Scandinavian alternative pop. Known for their poetic songwriting and richly detailed sound, they craft music where organic textures intertwine with subtle electronic elements, creating an expression that feels both intimate and expansive. Their breakthrough came with their 2019 debut&nbsp;Saints and Sebastian Stories, which won a Norwegian Grammy for Album of the Year (Indie/Alternative) and received widespread international acclaim from outlets including&nbsp;Pitchfork,&nbsp;Stereogum,&nbsp;The Fader,&nbsp;Clash&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Line of Best Fit. On stage, Konradsen have cultivated a deeply committed audience, selling out venues such as Kulturkirken Jakob and Parkteatret in Oslo. Their second album,&nbsp;Michael’s Book on Bears, earned a Norwegian Grammy nomination in 2025 for Alternative Pop, alongside artists like girl in red, AURORA and ULD.Their new album,&nbsp;Hunt, Gather, represents a quiet but meaningful shift in both process and perspective. Work on the record began in parallel with the composition of an original score for a short film set in the northern Norwegian village where Jenny lives. As a result, the early studio sessions were shaped as much by the film’s world as by the album itself. Ideas, sketches and field recordings moved freely between the two projects, allowing atmosphere and intuition to guide the music in new ways. The album moves fluidly between the intimate and the cinematic: from small sound collages of everyday moments to expansive arrangements. Throughout,&nbsp;Hunt, Gather&nbsp;carries the imprint of Northern Norway, the place they both have returned to, and of a close-knit community of musical collaborators, including Gia Margaret, Angie McMahon and Bruce Hornsby.

“If there is one thing I know how to do, it’s how to get the most out of life. Yeah, sure, not everything is perfect. You fuck up. You make mistakes. But hopefully, you’re achieving more than you’re fucking up. Overall, I would say I do well, milking life for all it’s got.” — Mykki Blanco	 On Café Paradiso, Mykki Blanco is completely reborn, trading the persona-driven theatrics of his previous releases for something more interior and exacting. The record draws from the diverse, banal and yet idiosyncratic contexts of the artist’s life in transit: “...shitty Wall Street lunch counters and an endless stream of dive bars in the East Village” in New York; “...drinking beer and playing pool in Belleville; the drink that lasts forever at Les Chope des Artists and Chez Jeanette” in Paris; and “languishing for hours at the tea houses or Café Hafa” in Tangier. From these fragments, Café Paradiso assembles a soundtrack for the contemporary, queer flâneur, moving through spaces where being alone does not necessarily mean being lonely. “Café Paradiso is a record for artsy kids,” Blanco explains, “for my cosmopolitan aesthetes to sit alone in a café and work on crafting the life of their dreams, or just make sense of it!” When asked which earlier versions of himself appear here, Blanco is unequivocal: “None.”

On stage, Johnston is known for her sparse, emotionally charged experimental pop music that can silence a room. On record, she produces intricate and lush sonic environments in her own little corner of the heavy music scene. She describes her sound as “Heaven Metal,” AKA emotional music about devastation: catharsis. Johnston writes primarily about grief, and the many faces it can inhabit.
