Are you ready for the big disaster? The moment when everything unravels?
On their third album, Sex Judas feat. Ricky portrays a break-up of astronomical proportions. The band's mascots Sex Judas and Ricky, embodied by artist Sindre Goksøyr, finds them self in the midst of a separation and the feelings are sprayed all over the big screen.
But, what is actually going on? Sex Judas feat. Ricky consists of the musicians Tore Gjedrem (Ost&Kjex), Sidiki Camara, Ivar Winther, Tracee Meyn, Tore Brevik, Kristian Edvardsen and Linn Nystadnes, who make up a stellar team from Oslo's musical underground. Together they play a mixture of funk, disco, post-punk, traditional music from Mali and electronica that always moves the dance floor.
Behind them are two critically acclaimed albums on Scottish Optimo Music and a Norwegian Grammy to show.
Their 3rd album is a double disc and a two-part musical affair. In the first part, Sex Judas' version of the breakup is depicted in a band format, with music inspired by the alternative 80’s. Think Grace Jones, Tom Tom Club, DAF, No Wave and the Compass Point Studio backing band, in a blissful cocktail.
In part two, depicting Ricky’s breakdown, the band has created their most experimental music to date, in close collaboration with contemporary composer Ole-Henrik Moe. The songs that rest on a bed of Ole-Henrik's tones are fluid, beautiful ambient. With inspiration ranging from 30s and 40s film music, via Norwegian folk, to contemporary electronica and IDM. Topped with Ole-Henrik’s modern string arrangements.
On the second singel you hear Sex Judas sexy, disco not disco number «It’s in Your Eyes» with the bands punk funk chanteuse Linn Nystadnes, taking on the lead vocals. And Ricky’s postmodern Norwegian folk music experiment "Your Hair in my Soup».
