Bjørn Felle’s creative output is eclectic, engaging and energetic; an idiosyncratic electronic sound inspired by 80s synthpop and punk, 90s techno, house and indie grunge, the odd 16-bit video game soundtrack, and a healthy dose of psychedelia.
Another example of his eclectic and exciting take on indie, electronica, and shoegaze, Paradise Moon’s five songs are distinct thematically and sonically from Extreme Hazard Planet, even though both were inspired by the same creative sources. The album and EP were conceived together in terms of writing and recording, and Bjørn always intended them to be seen as separate, though related, releases. Bjørn views Paradise Moon as a natural and somehow inevitable companion piece for Extreme Hazard Planet:
“Paradise Moon has a softer synthwave vibe compared to Extreme Hazard Planet. In contrast to the album’s themes of anger and incredulity, Paradise Moon aims to communicate feelings of sadness, disappointment and fear, and a desire to escape from humanity. The album is more industrial, influenced by 80s electro industrial goth bands like Skinny Puppy and Killing Joke, as well as some esoteric stuff like Admonition and Theory of Mind, which are kinda like Röyksopp on a bad trip. I wanted to flip this on the EP, inverting the concept in every way I could. They're separate records, but like the Earth and the moon they are part of the same thing, one made from the other and trapped in an orbit it can't escape from.”
