about

Permafrost is a post-punk band, originally from Molde in Norway, which was formed in 1982 by school friends Frode Heggdal Larsen & Kåre Steinsbu. Robert Heggdal & Trond Tornes joined in 2001 and Daryl Bamonte in 2016. They take their name from a song by Magazine and other influences are Joy Division, The Cure, Talking Heads, Pere Ubu, Yello, Fad Gadget, The Residents, Wire and Wolfgang Press.

To date they have released the ‘Godtment’ EP (on a limited edition of 50 numbered cassettes) in 1983, the ‘Permafrost EP’ - on vinyl in 2019 and digitally in 2021 - and three critically acclaimed singles in 2021 - ‘Femme Fatale’ and ‘Closed Eyes’ both reached #1 on the Indie Disko Top40 chart (‘Closed Eyes’ for 6 consecutive weeks) as well as listing high on both the Deutsche Alternative and Native25 charts. They were added to numerous playlists including Apple Music’s ‘New In Rock’. The 3rd single of this trilogy, ‘Restore Us’, reached #1 on the Indie Disko Top40 and the Native25 chart.

They are now kicking-off 2022 with their new single ‘Come Back To Surprise’, which is available on all platforms from 21st January on their own Fear of Music label, through Secretly Noord distribution.

“Come Back To Surprise initially sets a tone of coldness and loneliness, which is resolved by a story of beauty and shelter ”

lyrics

How long is too long
How long is enough
Waiting for that moment
When everything is done
How long is a lifetime
How long do we wait
Saying this is over
Is staying far too late

Come back in my life
The same words are spoken
Too late to arrive
The spell that was broken
Come back to surprise
Be softly awoken
Not too late to try
To tell you are chosen

Looking over shoulders
Watching broken lives
Building other futures
Hoping for those times
How did this not happen
How did this escape
The past is not a feature
A stranger to this age
