REASONS TO HANG AROUND – 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

In 2026, we have been recording artists for twenty-five years. We’re celebrating the anniversary by releasing both new music and reissues from our catalog. First of all the twenty-year-old “Reasons To Hang Around” comes in a new magnificent edition on vinyl. This 20th anniversary edition contains four bonus songs from the 2005 recording sessions that were not included on the original CD edition. Two of these: “No One to Talk to” and “Going Down That Road Again” have never been released before. The album comes in a double gate fold on colored vinyl with liner notes from Nye Takters, Geir Rakvaag. The anniversary edition will be released on vinyl 6/11/25. You can find it at BIG DIPPER MUSIC AND HI-FI and everywhere where good music is sold.

UP FOR YOU AND I

A new reissue of “Up For You & I” on vinyl will come out november 7th.
Minor Majority’s breakthrough album “Up For You & I” turned 20 years old in January 2024. To mark the occasion, a double anniversary edition of the album was released on colored vinyl. That version sold out almost immediately, so now the album is reprinted again, this time on black vinyl.
The first disc contains a remastered version of the original album. Disc number two contains demos and outtakes from the recording. You can find it at BIG DIPPER MUSIC AND HI-FI and everywhere else where good music is sold.

Minor Majority’s second album “If I Told You, You Were Beautiful” turns 20 in October.

When the album was recorded in the summer of 2002, Minor Majority was a duo consisting of Pål Angelskår (vocals, guitar) and Jon Arild Stieng (guitar, bass, vocals). Singer Karen Jo Fields and violist Kathrine Benedicte Skaug were key guest artists on the album, with contributions on six (Fields) and three (Skaug) of the 12 songs respectively. The later band members Halvor Høgh Winsnes (drums) and Henrik Harr Widerøe (bass, banjo vocals) make their first appearances with Minor Majority on this album. Winsnes with drums and percussion on the songs “Smile at Everyone” and “Angeline”. Widerøe with banjo and backing vocals on the Buddy Holly song “Learning The Game”. The band also did a number of cover songs at this time, and an interpretation of the Guided By Voices song “Motor Away” was also included on the album.

If I Told You, You Were Beautiful was recorded by producer and technician Andreas Berczelly in guitarist Stieng’s house at Skådalen in Oslo. Berczelly also contributed with keyboards to the record. On the launch tour, keyboard responsibility was taken over by future band member Harald Sommerstad.

With the single “Dancing in the Backyard”, Minor Majority had their first radio hit. The song made the A-list on Nrk P3 and was also a big hit on the music video program “Svisj” on NRK, where the audience could vote for videos should be shown. The title cut “If I Told You, You Were Beautiful” was also released as a single, but did not achieve the same popularity.

The album was nominated for “Spellemannsprisen” (the Norwegian Grammy) in the category best pop group.

Minor Majority release the new single, “Kiss Off” today.

The song is the title track from the upcoming album. Written and produced by Roar Nilsen, Lyrics by Pål Angelskår, sung by Pål Angelskår and Christel Alsos and played by Minor Majority.

Roar Nilsen has arranged the strings and woodwind arrangements.
