Odd Børre

Odd Børre is a Norwegian music collective that started in the mid-1990s, led by a frontman of the same name. Their sound mixes jazz, noise, and electronic elements, which felt chaotic and experimental at the time. They worked with a shifting group of collaborators early on, and their music didn't get much attention at first.

In 2002, they put out the track "Stress," which became a hit and brought them wider notice. That led to albums like The Art of Noise in 2004 and Fear Is Your Only God in 2007. Their performances were known for being intense and unpredictable, and there were rumors about drug use and internal tensions. In 2009, the frontman Odd Børre was arrested for drug possession, but the group kept going and released more records afterward.
