Xploding Plastix has come home again, with a two album deal for Beatservice Records!! Xploding Plastix is consisting of Hallvard Wennersberg Hagen and Jens Petter Nilsen. Their debut was the 7Inch Treat Me Mean, I Need The Reputation in 2000 which was an instant underground hit. It was followed by the debut album Amateur Girlfriends Go Proskirt Agents in 2001, an album which quickly became a classic, and is still one of the all-time bestselling Norwegian underground electronica albums. A revisited version was later released in the UK by Palm Beats in 2004.
After the debut, Xploding Plastix left Beatservice Records for the Norwegian branch of the major company Sony, and in 2003 they released their second album The Donca Matic Singalongs. Both this album and the debut where nominated to the Spellemann award (Norwegian Grammy) as well as the Alarm award (an alternative Norwegian award).
Since then, they have mainly worked with music for short films, film, TV and radio. They have collaborated with the Kronos quartet, commissioned a dance performance in Serbia, released the album Domestic Engine with the side-project; Piston Ltd, plus worked with their other side project; The Electones.
In the autumn, they are finally releasing new material. The new album Treated Timber Resist Rot continues the development from The Donca
Matic Singalong album, but moves into a more clouded, organic toned down sondscape. However still with a quirky leftfield electronica as the basis, mixed with intricate rhythm structures, melodic themes, and a creative instrumentation.
In addition, Beatservice Records will also release a revisited version of The Donca Matic Singalong for export and digital download, plus the EP Devious Dan with some tracks from the archives.
