Bellman

Bellman is one of the leading voices of a new generation of singer/songwriters who are taking the sound of Norway all over the world. Born Arne-Johan Rauan and hailing from Larvik, Norway, Bellman’s debut album, Mainly Mute, was a breakout hit in 2009, garnering critical accolades and featuring the popular single ‘Spaceship, Move Slow’. Blending acoustic and electric sounds, melancholic atmospheres and energetic notes, Bellman cites influences that include contemporary experimental rock bands such as Sigur Rós and Radiohead as well as classic pop/rock bands, alternative rock bands of the ’90s such as Mercury Rev and Slowdive and Swedish talents such as Stina Nordenstam.
