The Norwegian duo of longtime friends Gaute Granli (one half of Rump State whose most recent solo output was released on Feeding Tube) and Thore Warland (of Staer/Golden Oriole and innumerable other musical constellations) has existed in multiple informal iterations before finally manifesting as Firmaet Forvoksen. Their 2022 debut album Undone Shal is an unfurling tapestry of erratic guitar pickings, muffled percussive conjurings, barging synths, and moans that are part lamentation, part incantation. In their current live setup, altered percussions, wayward synths and evoke a liminal space of certain psychedelia, taking the listener to areas which are unsettling, luminous and unshakably affecting.
