In this re-released episode of Shut Up & Listen, CHRVNS and Morgan Kramer sit down with Øyvind Blomstrøm of Norway's Orions Belte at Ono Cafe in Bellingham during the inaugural Bellingham Exit Festival. They dive into conversations about life on tour, the art of songwriting, and much more in this special episode that captures the spirit of both the festival and the band.

Hailing from Norway, Orions Belte is a genre-blending trio known for their eclectic mix of instrumental rock, psychedelia, and laid-back grooves. Formed by Øyvind Blomstrøm (guitar), Chris Holm (bass), and Kim Åge Furuhaug (drums), the band draws inspiration from a wide range of influences, from 70s Nigerian rock to modern lo-fi beats. Their sound is both expansive and intimate, weaving melodic riffs with hypnotic rhythms that transport listeners to uncharted sonic landscapes. With critically acclaimed albums and a reputation for captivating live performances, Orions Belte continues to push boundaries, crafting music that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern.
