Lemaitre

Lemaitre is a Norwegian synth-pop duo formed by childhood friends Ketil Jansen and Ulrik Denizou Lund. They started making music together in 2010, drawing inspiration from electronic acts like Daft Punk and Justice. Their debut EP 'The Friendly Sound' came out in 2011 and found an audience through music blogs and social media.

A track called 'Cut To Black' helped them reach listeners outside Norway. In 2015 they released the album 'Afterglow', which included the song 'Closer' featuring Jennie A. They've worked with other collaborators too, like on 'Higher' with Maty Noyes and 'We Got U' with The Knocks.

Their sound leans into synthesizers and drum machines with an airy, melodic quality. They've been vocal about some issues in the Norwegian music industry and have dealt with online harassment, but they've kept making music that feels both electronic and pop.
