Album Details
Hope I Die Virgin have - with their chaste and low key mix of rainy british indie and Dischord sound - been a cult band reserved a few seeking souls. Two self released EP's, the most recent produced by Emil Nikolaisen of Serena Maneesh, recieved nods of approval from besserwissers. Still the band with the strange name have been walking by themselves in the murky mud on the banks of Oslo's underground, barely visible for the past two years. Hope I Die Virgin let the world be and created an alternate reality in Harrys Gym studio through innumer-able sessions in 2009 and 2010. Is Forever No Way was from the beginning a megalomaniac project - a fantasy of a record so extensive, so deep and discomposing that the world had never heard anything like it. The more time the band spent in the studio, the more self-exhausting their ambitions became. Every bass note, every last beating of the cymbals have been subjected to infinite interpretation and assosiation processes. Every chord shift has been analysed with astro-logical and scientifical intent.
