We just by chance discovered that our Distress Signals EP now is available on Spotify. We’re working on getting our other releases up/out/in there too, but in the meantime, enjoy some mean time.
Wanting, needing, waiting
For you to Spotify my love
Hoping, praying

Enjoy this vintage 4 second video clip of a strangely red-eyed Gorak singing “Dead Guy on the Stereo”, somewhere in Bergen. The photographer claimed to be into the “portrait” school of video. “Landscape is so 1939, dude” he commented, before leaving to pursue an art house career in Slovenia.
Yeah! This Sect hit the studio this weekend and we saw that it was good! With the help of recording tech Gunnar Kjellsby and co-producer Ragnar from Herostratos, we completed the recording of 4 tracks for our debut album:
- It’s Not You, It’s Them
- Life of Truth Crime
- Calligraphy with a Brick
- Make Shit Shine
We’re planning on another studio session before 2009 is history. Now we’re really excited to hear som raw mixes!
Check out some more pics from the studio on our Flickr page.
This weekend, This Sect is entering the studio to start recording what will become our first full-length album! As of now we got about 10 songs ready for recording, and will hopefully get 2 or 3 nailed down in this first session.
If everything goes according to plan, we will have several studio sessions this fall and winter, with a release in spring 2010. But, as always when there’s sectists involved, people may disappear and all kinds of nifty stuff might get conjured up. We’ll keep you up to date, and possibly post some raw mixes along the way.
In the meantime, enjoy some pause music:
You probably haven’t heard from This Sect in quite a while. Don’t worry, it’s not due to your growing paranoia and consequent isolation, but the simple fact that our guitarist Tomak broke his left arm.
The accident actually happened a couple of months back, but as Tomak is a Swede guy he chose to enroll in a very experimental new form of fracture treatment. As you can see in the picture, the medical trial involved plastering his entirebody to heal the broken limb. We don’t know the scientific theories behind this (the doctor mumbled something about “healing through frustration”), but the fact remains that it took Tomak’s arm almost twice as long as normal to heal.
A bit frustrating for the rest of the band, as we had to let him set up his annoying Casio Rapman for band practice. Believe us, there’s nothing worse than a man in body cast flopping his broken arm on that “scratch disc“.
But all this is in the past now. Tomak is free from the cast and has shaved off his goatee. We have started to practice on a regular basis again and have actually churned out a few secty new tunes. This Sect hopes you’re still a sectist by heart and we promise to keep you up to date and musically satisfied in the time to come!
