But it’s actually my best attempt to describe what the Norwegian band Ulver is doing.

First a black metal band, then an electronica act, then noise/glitch geeks, then sound track composers and now a full blown music freak show. Avantgarde? You bet. And cool as hell (not a great metaphor, to be honest, but it fits). Ulver plays tomorrow night in Aarhus at Voxhall – and I’ll be there enjoying every minute.
