Beauties Never Die is the third full-length album from Bergen, Norway native Siri W�lberg (a.k.a. Sissy Wish). Produced by Norwegian super-producer Jorgen Traen (Sondre Lerche, Kayzers Orchestra, Jazzkammer, The Golden Serenades,) the album is a daring step forward, affirming Sissy Wish's place at the forefront of Scandinavian music that is turning pop music on its ear.
Banishing the banjos and acoustic guitars of her earlier work, Sissy Wish immerses herself in a world of cheap synthesizers, toy organs and fuzz-guitars.
From the shimmering title track and enticing, incendiary "Dwts" to the layered, richly atmospheric "Tokyo" and the ultra-infectious album closer, "Book," the record is filled with complex structures, unexpected arrangements and supremely catchy melodies, all backed up by hot, pumpy drums and bass.
Sissy Wish made her debut in 2003 with the stunning Six Feet Tall EP, comprised of four tracks recorded in two days with members from Norway's eclectic group Sister Sonny. As an unsigned artist, she received an unprecedented amount of airplay on radio in her homeland. Her full length debut, You May Breathe, was recorded with legendary Norwegian producer HP Gundersen and won her a Norwegian Grammy (Spellemannsprisen) in 2005, shortly after the release of her second album, Tuning In. Several U.S. tours followed, which included performances at SXSW in 2007 and 2008. The U.S. dates not only exposed her to a new audience- they sent her in a dramatically new direction artistically.
"I just ate up my band and put them in a box, so I could afford to go on a tour in America. So suddenly I turned out to be a purely electronic duo from Mars, and the response from the crowd was fantastic!" says Sissy Wish. "I'm constantly trying to challenge myself, my music and my live shows."
