"Darkest Hour" by the Norwegian alt rock duo Ask Carol (from the mountain community of Auma) is a stalking scintillating beast. Utilizing a drummer (who, at times, plays guitar and drums at the same time), synths, a drum machine and a cool unique splitting system for Carol's guitar, the duo make music steeped in lateral layered atmospheres of post punk, shoegaze, indie pop, blues, funk and noise rock. All these genres are, for the most part, diced and blended together. The sound is captivating and the fact that Ask Carol's sound is a duo and not a full band is an added big fat luscious cherry on this post punk milk shake.

Based out of the Norwegian mountain community Auma, comes the grungy alt-pop duo Ask Carol. Ask Carol is a high energy power-duo with a big sound. Multitasking is their middle name. Two guitars, drums, a synth, a drum machine and a unique splitting system for Carol's guitar, makes this two-piece sound like a full band. Their sound can be fierce and mean, then suddenly turn soft and comforting. Their sound could make you think of artists like the Kills, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, with a Nordic, melancholic twist. Ask Carol has toured in the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Scandinavia, SXSW two times and more ,and supported The Brian Jonestown Massacre. The band now put out their music on ChoVan Records, their own Indie Label. Given the special circumstances, tours and concerts are postponed. They have a concert scheduled for October 10th in Oslo. This year they will be focusing on new singles and the upcoming album slated for early 2020. "Do It in LA" on was released on September 18th.
