The first sentence on the Urørt web page of this great act goes as follows: “CCTV originally hail from Haugesund, a city founded on herring, jazz and heroin, but are currently based in Oslo.” The band plays an elegant kind of pop music mixed with elements of indie, slices of psychedelia and sprinkles of electronica. It is not without reason that this band has gotten a bit of a buzz going at certain select clubs in the Norwegian capital. They are not afraid of being neither dark nor catchy, something which was easy to hear when they became the Urørt Pick of the Week on national radio channel P3 this fall. Front man Shaun Curtis and the rest of the crew have now embarked on the labors that in time will become their debut album. If you don’t get the chance before then, the Øya Festival will provide you with an excellent opportunity to get to know this band.
