With the 2023 iteration of Oslo, Norway’s long-running Øya Festival in the books, we’re keeping the festivities rolling with our new “Neighborhoods: Oslo” subseries focusing on the local talent that provides the fest with its unique flavor complementing the lineup’s global-superstar headliners. The ongoing miniseries aims to focus on such groups as they perform in various locations around the city.
This week, we’re spotlighting the local post-punk group Outer Limit Lotus, who brought two tracks from their recently released LP Dazzling Darkness—the brief “The Third Part of the Night” and the more substantial “Persona”—to bassist/vocalist Vebjørn Guttormsgaard Møllberg’s backyard in the neighborhood of Kampen, an area populated by both 19th century wooden architecture and more modern buildings, where the whole band resides.
