VERDENSROMMET started in 2011 as a songwriting project of two school friends Andreas Høvset and Vetle Vik Gundersen, who were both entering their final year at high school in Telemark. After recording a demo, they decided to give it to Matias Tellez at his band, Young Dreams’ gig in Oslo that summer. He liked it, and invited Andreas and Vetle to Bergen to record the songs in his studio.
It was love at first sight when the 19-years-olds arrived in the west coast of Norway. Finishing high school normally means moving out to make it in the world, and it was no different for Verdensrommet. Bergen had to become the home base for them. The relationship with the music scene in the city and newly established Skogen Studios with Matias Tellez producing, 600 kilometers away from the established music business in Oslo, meant a lot to them.
The potential of the songs blossomed into a beautiful double-punch of space pop with Norwegian lyrics and they were joined by some of their best friends to make a complete band: Verdensrommet is now a five-piece band ready with an EP that is a serious letter of intent. Songs like “Sidelengs” and “Nytt” depart into a dream world where texture and timbre is as important as their trademark catchy hooks.
