Post Description
Formed sometime in the late 80's, Norwegian act Utopian Fields managed to
release two albums before fading into the mists of obscurity.
Signed to local record label Colours, their self-titled debut was released on vinyl
in 1989, with a line-up consisting of Tom-Inge Andersen (bass), Tor Dahl (guitars),
Lars Fredriksen (vocals), Atle Bystrøm Olsen (guitars), Tor Øyvind Folleggg (keyboards)
and Geir Wetle Holtan (drums, percussion), while Kjersti Thunem (flutes) and
Ronny Bystrøm Olsen (harmonica) had guest appearances.
Lars Fredriksen left the band some time after this release, and his vocal duties were
taken over by Bård Tufte Johansen - later to become a well known comedian and
TV-personality - for the follow-up album "White Pigeon, You Clean...", released in 1990.
A third production was recorded by the band in 1991, but never released. Sources
indicate that the band disbanded in 1991 or -92.
1989 - Utopian Fields (192)
1990 - White Pigeon, You Clean (320)
