Blind As Night

The Norwegian power-pop ensemble clearly loves cycling. Their joyful 2011 debut to the Treetops! started with a bicycle cruise from Ragnsvaldsbekken to Srkedalen, this time they even added a specific address to their ride (Feddersensgate 5A to Mllervegen 31). Still, the journey remains the same. A credo that also goes for Blind As Night. Team Me basically did their debut all over again which clearly isn't the worst idea. Everything is bigger in the musical microcosm of Team Me. Emotions, gestures and instrumentation. There's more - and sometimes even too much - of everything. Tracks like the catchy Kick & Curse or the heavy F Is for Faker almost burst with epic ideas. Compared to the debut Blind As Night even goes the extra mile. The guitars are heavier, the choirs louder and the strings way more prominent. Are You Still in Love is a perfect example.
