Biography
Oslo, Norway — Formed in 2014, Space Electric will release their second album, "Laniakea", on the 15th of September 2023. It was recorded in the legendary studio Rancho De La Luna, Joshua Tree, California, USA, in 2022. Dessert Sessions, Kyuss, QOTSA, EODM, Foo Fighters, Iggy Pop, Arctic Monkeys, and many more bands have been recorded there.
Space Electric, a band from the land of the midnight Sun, journeyed to the mighty Mojave Desert and discovered a path to the unknown. The album release includes 4 new video releases (I Wanna Know, Dead Eyes, Exit Light and Laniakea) to the 4 singles released upfront of the album. These 9 songs, recorded live in one massive week at Rancho de la Luna, tell stories of absent friends, rabbit holes and gravity on your bones. The founder of Rancho De La Luna, David Catching, is playing lap steel solo in the end of our song Rabbit Holes. We are very honored and proud that this true legend appears on our album.
Laniakea is the immeasurable heaven in Universe and express the supergalactic highway where galaxies are drawn at immense speed to the Great Attractor. An uncertain future awaits.
The band released their debut album ´The Great Attractor´ in 2020. It was recorded in Barcelona at Angel Sound Studio. “.. Space Electric reveals a solid hard rock groove. Its like a cocktail with hints of Black Sabbath, Lemmy Kilmister and Pearl Jam. .. Great riffs and a driven voice... Rock Fueguine Magazine - 18/06/2020".
Kristian, Bjørnar and Jon had played together in Mad Above in the 1990's but parted ways after the tragic death (suicide) of one of the band members. One of the first songs in the new band, Exit Light, was a tribute to the lost band member Chritian Westbye. The music Kristian had written connected immediately with the whole band, and before long Bjørnar had written a beautiful eulogy and the song was finished. Exit Light was the first time recorded in 2010 in Luna Lounge studio in Oslo. Tragedy hit again with a burglary in our studio. All music and backups were stolen and never seen again. It is a great honor to finally release this song on our new album.
