120 Days Return With First New Studio Album In 5 Years

Debut Video for First Single "Osaka" with Club Mod/Modular  "120 Days builds power through repetition...tightly sequenced sounds and a rigid snare-drum beat provide  a sturdy base over which the band layers groaning drones, phased melodies." - NPR

Norwegian-based quartet 120 Days have announced their long-awaited return with followup sophomore LP 120 Days II, set for a March 6th release with Splendour (of Montreal/Casiokids, His Clancyness/Shimmering Stars). The band debuted a new video for their first single "Osaka" as part of Club Mod, a new singles imprint by Modular and was remixed by Norwegian DJ/producer diskJokke. 120 Days have been playing together since 2001 and their debut took them around the world, from America, where they signed with Vice Records, to Japan, where they played to crowds of 17,000+. It won them two Norwegian Grammys and was not only critically acclaimed but also commercially successful. But those subsequent five years have given them valuable, well-earned perspective, and their sophomore album proves that it's worth taking a little time out. 120 Days II is darker, dirtier, fiercer and sharper than a debut full of, as Pitchfork loftily put it, "towering edifices", one which the website also claimed possessed "the conviction that all this technology has the potential to amplify, not suppress, the transmission of human emotion, should humans be courageous enough to try." To put it rather more simply, this new one is even better than the first.     Currently touring Europe and playing select festival dates, the band will return stateside in the spring to support their forthcoming LP at SXSW 2012.  120 Days II Tracklisting  1.
