Bernhoft

Jarle Bernhoft goes by his surname, like Morrissey. At this very moment, Bernhoft is the number one selling artist in Norway, thanks to his modern take on a soulful sound, which is unique in the .…


BERNHOFT

Norwegian artist Bernhoft is doing a small US tour (which started last night at Boston’s Brighton Music Hall) in support of his new EP Stop/Shutup/Shout It Out (Big Picnic Records). Of course, the onetime #1 selling Norwegian’s music got critical acclaim from Baeble Music, noting that the music could “dominate the radio this summer.”



Of the EP, Bernhoft reflects, “I’ve done three albums. Three is a good number; it feels like a little closure. Lyrically, I’ve felt like I’ve spun a red thread through them, both internally and between them. I thought it a fantastic opportunity to just throw all ambitions of coherence to the wolves, and let every whim and impulse flow freely. All of these songs are elusive in subject matter, you can try to grasp what they’re about, but there is always an anomaly or two in there. Not that they’re just thrown in there at random, but I am a very whimsical guy and I find it more honest to let it reflect in my lyrics. I dance on tables while reciting poems about cruelty and/or platonic love. That should come out in my music.”
