Future Nostalgia
With definitive nods to shoegaze, dream pop and post-punk, Future Nostalgia draws inspiration from genre pioneers such as Slowdive and Ride, as well as contemporary trailblazers like Diiv, Grouper and Ringo Deathstarr. The band consists of members who have long been active on the Norwegian music scene, including in projects such as Mining in Yukon, Pumpegris, LOOSER, Hill Bomb and Temporary. Over time, they have found their sound in the dreamy and ethereal.
Future Nostalgia has received praise from, among others, the British sic Magazine and Disharmoni. Both of the band’s albums have been named among the best of their respective years, 2024 and 2025, by Deichman Musikk. In addition to receiving recommendations on Urørt, they were also featured in NRK P3 Musikk’s shoegaze special broadcast this spring.
Their latest album, Mellow, remains dreamy and ethereal, as listeners will recognise from their first full-length album. This time, however, it features a darker, more dynamic soundscape and a heavier underlying theme.
Future Nostalgia are currently working on their third full-length album, and the release concert will take place at John Dee on 25 February! The third album will occupy the same noisy soundscape, but with more playfulness and brighter colours. The band wants to give listeners an energetic sonic experience, made even more powerful live. In other words – get yourself to John Dee!
Support: Cardrivers
Cardrivers came together in the middle of the Oslo winter of 2024, sharing a longing to travel along Autobahn Via Carolina to Paris, and from there to the Riviera via Lyon, fuelled by cheese, wine and petrol. The band brings together indie, shoegaze and dream pop, as well as every other guitar-based genre with a name. They made their debut with their first release, Roadtrip EP, in spring 2025. Soon after, P3 picked up the release and added the songs “I Don’t Know” and “Way We Align” to its playlists. Those attending can expect a driving sound with the pedal firmly to the floor.
