Todd Terje & The Olsens

Musical Group

Norwegian electronic musician and DJ Todd Terje (Terje Olsen) and his live band The Olsens produce nu-disco and disco-influenced electronic music. Notable releases include the 2014 album It's Album Time and The Big Cover-Up EP.

Real name Terje Olsen. Best-known for the single "Inspector Norse" and the 2014 album "It's Album Time". The Big Cover-Up EP is credited to Todd Terje & The Olsens and contains covers and remixes.

The available DeBaser review frames The Big Cover-Up EP as a kitsch, disco-tinged electronic tribute to imagined Far East pop-culture. It highlights covers of artists such as Yellow Magic Orchestra and remixes, calling the release entertaining and suitable for casual listening. Overall appraisal is mixed, noting charm and irony more than cultural seriousness.

For:Fans of nu-disco and disco revival, listeners of Todd Terje, and readers who enjoy ironic/retro electronic music takes.

 ‘The Big Cover-Up EP’ (Olsen Records), recorded by Todd with his live band, The Olsens, is practically a tribute to this kind of naive popular subculture that has no real cultural relevance except for being something fictional, much like the Wild West could be.
