Cyclone starts with both Electric High’s lead singers, PV Staff and Olav Iversen, literally spitting the letter FFFFFFF into the microphones, before the whole band kicks in with full force into a pounding upbeat groove, which kind of reminds you of Rocks by Primal Scream, handclaps and all. The bridge coming up next, sounds like the whole band is tripping on acid, while singing brow-raisingly out of tune lalalala’s. Cyclone rages on into another verse and another bridge of off-pitch lalalala’s, before the chorus opens the beat up, amplifies the power, and the C-c-c-yclone appears. The band takes a tiny little breather, with a strange littlle repeating guitar lick, before the storm breaks out again, and tops it off with another bridge and chorus, that measures close to 50 meters per second on Beaufort’s wind scale.

Your latest track is 'Cyclone'. Can you share with us the background of its creation and did any unusual things happen during its creation?
Cyclone is an energetic song that pumps up the audience. A great song to play on live gigs. It’s about taking control. Taking the power, and using it to entertain.
The bassplayer, Ein Torvik, actually broke one of his fingers on his left hand during that studio session. So some of the songs from that session, was very hard for him to play.
