Pechenga / Helt Borte

Smalltown Supersound

In the winter of 2007, bonding over a mutual respect and admiration for each other’s work and love for old synth music, prog rock, and ambient music, RUNE LINDBAEK (who has remixed tracks for Lindstrom, Idjut Boys & The Knife) & CATO FARSTAD hunkered down in Lindbæk’s grandmother’s house in Vardø to work on music together, and PECHENGA was born. Surrounded by the dark of the season, the flickering northern lights, cold storms and heavy snow, Helt Borte was born in an intense 2 weeks. They cite ambient masters Stars of the Lid, Dead Texans, Peter Namlook, Brian Eno, Steve Roach, & Biosphere (Lindbæk’s old Tromsø neighbor) as a massive inspiration in creating this album. No Exports. (STREET DATE - 5/10/2011)
