Andreas Lanesjord is an in-demand, Oslo-based musician and producer, who has been a member of the acclaimed Norwegian pop outfit Anna Of The North’s band for the past six years. While a member of the acclaimed Norwegian pop act, the Oslo-based musician and producer quickly made a name for himself nationally with high praise for early live performances at Øya Festival, Trondheim Calling and Havstrøm Festival.
Lanesjord recently stepped out into the spotlight as a solo artist with his recoding project Doif. He then signed with Norwegian tastemaker label Propeller Recordings, who recently released his latest single “Red Heat Heaven,” which will appear on his highly-anticipated debut EP I’m All Ears slated for a November 15, 2024.
Inspired by the likes of Thundercat, Toro y Moi and Flying Lotus among others, the Norwegian producer and musician’s work draws from and meshes elements of progressive R&B, electronic and indie pop — with a playful sense of humor.
“Red Heat Heaven” is a slow-burning and stormy bit of Quiet Storm-inspired R&B featuring bubbling and twinkling synth melodies, buzzing bass synths and a strutting bassline and a lysergic breakdown. Sonically bringing a synthesis of Thundercat and Tame Impala to mind, the song explores destructive relationships, addiction and a desire for chaos.
The self-directed, stop-motion animated video for “Red Heat Heaven” features a toxic puppet couple, who inspired by the destructive tendencies of many of the world’s current leaders, believe that they can only find true happiness in a dystopian hellscape.
