The band states on facebook: “New single out today!! It’s called “Parasitt” and it’s the last one before it’s album time
this song is actually 12 years old in its original form, but we gave it a “trojkal makeover” for the new album. We’re pretty happy with the result!
Thanks again to Simen for cover art, Njål for producing and mixing, Iver for mastering, and Robin and the rest of Apollon Records for releasing!“
Hailing from Bergen, Norway, Troijka has been serving up their Melodic, Progressive Pop/Rock with poignant lyrics in Norwegian for more than a decade. After the critically acclaimed “I speilvendthet” (2017) and “Tre Ut” (2019), their long awaited third album “Strobemørke” is finally coming in August 2024.
“Strobemørke” sees Trojka venturing even further into their own unique world of Prog Pop. Since “Tre Ut,” the traditional lineup of August Riise on keys and synths, Simon Kverneng on bass guitar/vocals and Gjert Hermansen (also known from Det Skandaløse Orkester) on drums, percussion and vocals, has been joined by Fredrik Mekki Widerøe (known from Seven Impale and Cloud People) on guitar and vocals.
The compositions and soundscapes have grown ever more mature and dynamic, also frequently featuring strings, saxophone, flute and other instruments. The record spans from intense, heavy and psychedelic outbursts to more tender ballad-like moments. With “Strobemørke,” Troijka once again aims to create music at the perfect intersection of complex and catchy, melodic and mind-boggling – having a fantastic time while doing so.
