"yvind Blomstrm and Chris Holm mainly make a living out of being on the road with other bands, and theyre almost always traveling from town to town, country to country. When their roads crossed for the umpteenth time in 2016, their mutual dream of starting an instrumental project was finally underway. Holms companion from the Bergen scene, Kim ge Furuhaug, wanted to join in on the fun, and then Orions Belte was born. Their debut album Mint is founded on old traditions but still feels new, and youll have to look for a long time to find anything like it. Texas band Khruangbin may be the best comparison as per today, but Orions Belte really belongs in their own galaxy. A galaxy where they are the soundtrack to movies that havent been made yet, where landscapes are colored and where the trio does just what they want to, the way they want to do it. The result is Mint, an album filled with songs that fit as easily into street parties in Oslo and London, as in private casinos in Paris and night clubs in Lagos. Orions Belte, a small piece of the world from Norway." - Orions Belte
