'House Music': Pop/Rock Alchemy Revisited

2012's 'House Music' marked a shift in Ex Norwegian's sound and lineup. Now, 12 years later, it's getting its own deluxe reissue:

  • Remastered by Prof. Stoned for enhanced clarity and punch
  • Updated artwork that complements the album's eclectic nature
  • Available formats:
    • Limited edition transparent blue vinyl (50 copies)
