Protégé’s of a certain Mr Erlend Øye of Kings and Convience and Whitest Boy Alive fame, Kakkmaddafakka (phonetically, it does indeed mean ‘Cock Motherfucker’ – nice) are a sprightly bunch from Bergen, Norway.Taken from their second album Hest (the follow-up to 2007′s Down To Earth – a hit in their native Norway but overlooked elsewhere), new single ‘Restless’ is the exact product of what you’d expect when Øye is sat in the production chair. Tight grooves, compressed drums, staccato guitar lines – check.
The addition of numerous Scandinavian girls in tight gym outfits is just a bonus, obviously.
