Mall Girl
Norwegian indie pop outfit Mall Girl brings boundless energy, edgy experimentation, and a powerful creative force to everything they do.
The outfit of local talents came together after a series of jam sessions led to something magical. From the rhymes of A$AP Rocky to the vocal ease of Rickie Lee Jones, the group finds inspiration in innovative art, regardless of genre. That varied palate helped them to create a sound all their own, fusing relatable, engulfing lyrics with elements plucked from classic pop and gritty midwestern emo.
Together they have released two albums, “Superstar” and “Pure Love” on Jansen Records, and played at festivals like Øya, Roskilde and other big Norwegians festivals, and soon the band will play beyond the Scandinavian borders.

Riversun
The new duo project with Bethany and saxophonist Zakarias Meyer Øverli. Together they blend together impulses from jazz, pop and hiphop.
The duo has played together for several years in the band tigerstate, but had for a long time wished to create something new with Zakarias’ jazz background and Bethany’s poprock background. The collaboration has lead to the making of a whole album, I See You, now released!
The music is greatly inspired by the honest and pure music of Susanne Sundfør, to the more groovy and powerful music by Michael Brecker and Cocteau Twins. With pulsating and danceworthy rhythms, Zakarias uses the saxophone as an accompaniment instrument and play chord progressions that Bethany effortlessly can sing over. (Buy the album here
