On "Vingespenn" ("Wingspan") Sigrun Sæbø Åland and Kim Mikal Torp take huge Italo house keys, the Hysj trademark of unforgiving, thumping percussion, Åland's rhythmic vocals and add that rare thing in Oslo band's world - harmony and melody.
The track's bedrock is that rave piano; it's so ridiculously bouncy, a surge of positivity away from the brutalism of Blokers and when a chorus of harmonies combine with Åland's voice at the song's outro it's actually almost heavenly.
"'Vingespenn' is about restlessness and recklessnes," say Hysj. "It describes the speed required to run from your self, the euphoria that define the fleeting moments when you succeed, and the inevitable disappointment when reality finally catches up."
Let's hope Hysj continue to outrun reality for a little while longer.
