Imitating Aeroplanes is the new project of Tord Øverland Knudsen (The Wombats) and Marius Drogsås Hagen (Team Me) – a collective output tallying five albums, multi-million sales and streams, repeat Billboard charts, international play-listing and widespread acclaim, including a Norwegian Grammy Award and multiple NME / MTV Award nominations. On paper, it’s an impressive pairing, but this is one partnership more destined than designed. Marius and Tord have been playing and writing music together since childhood, recording their first demos to Tascam 4-Track cassette circa ’96. The pair grew up in small Norwegian town Elverum before embarking respective international careers, with their latest pursuit landing in Tokyo – the cultural heartland.
