专辑介绍

挪威独立乐队Flunk的音乐风格一直游走于电子民谣、合成器流行和梦幻流行之间，但三位成员之间默契的合作让他们在电子乐领域当中一直行走得游刃有余。乐队成立以来的九年间，他们的创作成果可以说颇多颇良，尽管每次发片之时都相当低调，但仍旧有一杆死忠乐迷在等待着他们的一张张新作。

乐队第五张正式专辑《This Is What You Get》最早只在他们的官方网站上有着小小的一笔，并没有在其他媒体之上做过什么宣传，但仍旧让大多数挪威国以外的乐迷等了相当长一段时间，因为这张专辑的发行时间在挪威本土和其他地区之间相差了足有一个月的时间。继承早前在清新之外不乏实验元素的混合型音乐路线，Flunk这次又奉献出了他们的一张佳作。

实际上Flunk最为吸引人的地方不在于他们文艺风格的唱片封面设计、恬淡清新的旋律曲风，而在于女主唱颤巍巍似乎总要走调但又始终在调上的唱法。于是乎他们才有那些旋律讨喜但又无法成为口水歌的悦耳曲目，这类悦耳曲目是Flunk每一张专辑当中最有力的点缀，一般只出现有二至三首，而在这张《This Is What You Get》当中，前面的《Cigarette Burns》和后面的《Down》属于这类悦耳型曲目，其余作品则需要乐迷慢慢品尝，并且，会越品尝越有味道。

Flunk is a Norwegian electronic band consisting of producer Ulf Nygaard, guitarist Jo Bakke, drummer Erik Ruud, and vocalist Anja Oyen Vister.

The band began as a project between Ulf, and Jo in Oslo, Norway in winter 2000 and 2001. Beginning as an instrumental and sampled vocal project, they were signed for a track on a compilation by Beatservice Records in winter 2001. On hearing the finished track, label manager Vidar Hanssen signed the unnamed band for a full album.

During early summer 2001, Ulf and Jo recorded most of the album and Anja improvised the vocals. After their vocals, Jo layered the guitars, but it would be a year before the album would be completed and released.

In spring 2002, the band was known as Flunk and they released their first single, a cover of New Order's Blue Monday in April. The track was well received in the UK and was included on numerous compilations in North America and Europe. Later in April, their debut album For Sleepyheads Only was released which garnered great reviews in Norway. With the success of their album, BBC invited them to do a recording session for the Radio 1 show The Blue Room in London. Shortly after Notting Hill Art's Club would become the location of their live debut. In the United States, they signed with Guidance Recordings.

By summer 2002, the band was getting rave reviews from British electronica magazines and in July they played Norway's finest rock festival. In October For Sleepyheads Only was released in the US through Guidance Recordings. In November they played the London Jazz Festival.

Throughout 2003 their debut, For Sleepyheads Only was still being echoed across the globe in staggered releases with special editions released to Russia and Greece. Beatservice Records then went on to release Treat Me Like You Do - For Sleepyheads Only Remixed in June. While their debut continued to make its way around, the band wasted no time and began work on their second album for the majority of the year, which was recorded in Paris in October.

Their second album, Morning Star was finished in March 2004 and saw a Norwegian release in May while it was released in the rest of the world in June. In 2005, Play America was released on Beatservice Records which included bonus tracks from the US version of Morning Star along with remixes.

In 2007 Flunk released their next album, Personal Stereo, while May 2009 saw the release of This Is What You Get, which includes a cover version of Radiohead's Karma Police.
