The Norwegian nutjobs UNGDOMSKULEN pays honor to 90’s cult film on their latest single.

Lovers On the Run drops 23rd February on all digital platforms. This is the third single lifted from their new album “Gold Rush” out the 2nd of March! The Thelma and Louise inspired track “Lovers On The Run” is a monumental third single. It starts of with a trumpet intro that is so breath taking that all you really want is to steal the nearest car and get away. From the moment the trumpets goes of it’s really no turning back. The track is danceable, gritty and raw but with a tender and loveable message. When Lovers On The Run was captured the band felt a revelation never felt before. The feeling can best be described in the words of Thelma: I feel really awake. I don’t recall ever feeling this awake. You know? Everything looks different now. You feel like that? You feel like you got something to live for now?

Gold Rush is beautiful beast of a rock album, curious, diverse and catchy. Yet again the Norwegian band are challenging the concept of what a power trio can sound like, and man they are doing so with great bravour.

The album starts off sounding like a Blaxploitation soundtrack, with a lonely guitar with a wah-wah effect delivering some dramatic musical backdrop
the music builds slowly until the band comes in with full force on the driving and vibrant rock-juggernaut “In It 2 Win It”.

There´s a cinematic undertone that lingers through-out the whole album and the album have many musical layers.

The lyrics are poetic, witty and original, like on “Police Woman” that´s about a man worrying about his girlfriend while she is on patrol, paranoia and insanity in “Losing my mind” and the Thelma and Louise- inspired track “Lovers on the run”.

When the album ends with the dramatic and lonely “big city”- saxophone (played by Kjetil Møster) on the last track Cassandra, it feels like the band have gone full circle. And what an adventure it´s been.

“Gold Rush” is set to be released through Norwegian label Apollon Records on March 2nd 2018.
