Grand Atlantic
Grand Atlantic
Grand Atlantic blends the ethereal ambiance reminiscent of the time when "bands like Teenage Fanclub, the Posies, Redd Kross and Velvet Crush
made power pop with enough sonic muscle to rival the grunge band." (Underneathica) Their power-pop prowess layered with a swaggering rhythm
section, crunchy riffs and chiming, Byrds-esque guitars, welds seamlessly to robust pop songs with instantly-memorable choruses. How We Survive
found the band working with award-winning Australian producer Magoo (Midnight Oil) and the USA Network using "Holding Pattern" off the
album in a six week summer campaign.

Kristian and Sofie
Tone
"Musically, ... Sofie Nielsen creates a remarkable audiovisual realm in which her light and spell-binding voice adds to a bedrock of crunchy break
beats, abstract compositional structures and melodic sounds and samples... Tone's live performance is a spectacular experience. Accompanied by
VJ Kristian Ravn Ellestad, the two blend together in an audiovisual symbiosis accentuating the moods of Tone's emotionally charged music."
