A couple of weeks ago Vårum released the debut single “Scream”, a piece of cool, laidback disco-inviting electropop which wet the appetite for more. Today he’s releasing the debut EP “Disco Damaged” with another 4 tracks to enjoy. Behind Vårum we find Bjørn Thomassen, born and raised on Lofoten in Norway, but nowadays living in London. The inspiration comes from the cold desolated nights in the big city, he writes, but you can just as well imagine sparkling ice flakes and a vast, mighty sea when you hear the music. He’s not only aiming for the dancefloor here, he wants us to take a pause and just listen as well on a varying and quite dynamic album. I can sense some nostalgic vibes from older synthpop and some hints of Alan Parsons Project also, but there’s no doubt that the songs belong on the electronica scene of today and should be fit to fill some floors in London clubs in the time to come.
