The Megaphonic Thrift are a Norwegian ‘supergroup’ of sorts, consisting of members from Casiokids, The Low Frequency In Stereo and Stereo21.  They hail from idyllic Bergen, on the west coast of Norway, that music-wise is probably one of the best known cities in Scandinavia for having given birth to bands like Røyksopp, Datarock, Casiokids, Kings Of Convenience and Ida Maria.

Their first EP, ‘A Thousand Years Of Deconstruction’ is to be released in the UK on Deadly People Records on Monday 6th September.

The EP is a huge wall of reverb-laden guitars, combined with pounding hi-speed drums, all wrapped up in a fizzing shoegaze-y noise. Check out the video for the opening track Acid Blues and you get the idea
