about

Bo Milli has returned with her new single "Making Friends" ahead of a busy schedule of festivals this summer. The new single follows a string of standalone tracks released across the past 12 months which has seen her tipped as one the next breakout musicians to come out of Norway.

Re-creating the chaos and indiscipline of nights out in Bergen, "Making Friends" tracks the expectations, contradictions and drama of nocturnal social interactions through a haze of tumultuous indie-rock.

Co-produced by Odd Martin (Sigrid, Sløtface) and Magnus Skylstad (AURORA), "Making Friends" opens with a rumbling bass line, with Bo Milli recalling precise moments of discourse amidst the cold Bergen night life: "I've been wondering when it will get under my skin / I bet you're waiting for it to kick in".

lyrics

Making Friends

We're all waiting for it to pass
for it to fall, fall into place at last
I've been wondering when it will get under my skin
I bet you're waiting for it to kick in

Hands down I steady myself,
As I'm looking for my friends
That I lost in the crowd
When I got another drink
Now everyone here are strangers
Now I know that you love me
Cause I love them

i hope someone is out there trying to reach me
not that easy since my phone is dead
those last two drinks were probably not my best idea
i'll be here waiting for it to kick in

I hope someone
Is out there trying to reach me
Not that easy
Since my phone is dead
Those last, two drinks
Were probably not my best idea
I’ll be here waiting
For it to kick in

Hands down I steady myself,
As I'm looking for my friends
That I lost in the crowd
When I got another drink
Now everyone here are strangers
Now I know that you love me
Cause I love them

Hands down I steady myself,
As I'm looking for my friends
That I lost in the crowd
When I got another drink
Now everyone here are strangers
Now I know that you love me
Cause I love them


Stranger, now everyone is a stranger
now everyone is a stranger
now everyone is a stranger
stranger
stranger
now everyone is a stranger
now everyone is a stranger
now everyone is a stranger

But I’m making friends

about

Bo Milli Bergen, Norway

With a predisposition to self-criticise and a talent for turning that into art, Bo Milli is an essential new voice in music. Through her diaristic lyrics, the super smart environmentalist writes hook after hook as she navigates her inner conflict. And indeed, in putting her own life into words, she has unknowingly narrated our collective existential angst. ... more
