Per Oystein Sorensen

Vocalist Per Oystein Sorensen raised the bridge for Fra Lippo Lippi to combination from desolate goth rock and roll to a piano-laden amalgam of brand-new influx and light jazz. When Fra Lippo Lippi shaped in Norway in the past due ’70s, the group appeared enthusiastic about the droning rhythms and morose lyrics of Pleasure Division. Actually, Fra Lippo Lippi’s debut record ALONE was therefore bleak it could’ve been recognised incorrectly as a Joy Department record. Nevertheless, by Fra Lippo Lippi’s second LP, Little Mercies, Sorensen’s special teeth for pop begun to brighten the band’s somber disposition. While Little Mercies was still a unhappy record, hooks and melodies began to penetrate the group’s primarily impermeable wall structure of gloom. On Tracks, Sorensen discovered his tone of voice — therefore did the music group. No longer restricting himself towards the ominous shades of Pleasure Division’s Ian Curtis and Bauhaus’ Peter Murphy, Sorensen’s vocals became even more soulful on Tracks, equally with the capacity of expressing pleasure (“Come Summertime”) or psychological resignation (“Arriving House”). The lyrics obtained clarity aswell. Fra Lippo Lippi ceased documenting in the first ’90s. Nevertheless, in 2000, Fra Lippo Lippi performed in the Philippines, a nation where the music group landed numerous strikes through the ’80s. Sorensen in addition has caused Trine Rein.
