On their third album, Sex Judas feat. Ricky portrays a break-up of astronomical proportions. The band's mascots Sex Judas and Ricky, embodied by artist Sindre Goksøyr, finds them self in the midst of a separation and the feelings are sprayed all over the big screen.

But, what is actually going on? Sex Judas feat. Ricky consists of the musicians Tore Gjedrem (Ost&Kjex), Sidiki Camara, Ivar Winther, Tracee Meyn, Tore Brevik, Kristian Edvardsen and Linn Nystadnes, who make up a stellar team from Oslo's musical underground. Together they play a mixture of funk, disco, post-punk, traditional music from Mali and electronica that always moves the dance floor.

Behind them are two critically acclaimed albums on Scottish Optimo Music and a Norwegian Grammy to show.

Their 3rd album is a double disc and a two-part musical affair. In the first part, Sex Judas' version of the breakup is depicted in a band format, with music inspired by the alternative 80’s. Think Grace Jones, Tom Tom Club, DAF, No Wave and the Compass Point Studio backing band, in a blissful cocktail.

In part two, depicting Ricky’s breakdown, the band has created their most experimental music to date, in close collaboration with contemporary composer Ole-Henrik Moe. The songs that rest on a bed of Ole-Henrik's tones are fluid, beautiful ambient. With inspiration ranging from 30s and 40s film music, via Norwegian folk, to contemporary electronica and IDM. Topped with Ole-Henrik’s modern string arrangements.

On the first singel you hear Sex Judas driving, electronic funk number «Work for 7 Days» and Ricky’s postmodern campfire serenade «Pretty, like a picture»

Album out May 3rd.
