about

It hasn’t gotten any easier to label Chopper since the quite trashy yet charming debut-release, “The Wonderful and Wicked World of Chopper” (2022). A dangerous cocktail of larger-than-life mentality and manic self-realization - struggling with staggering cynicism and self-irony - the old Casio-keyboard has been replaced by metallic drum-programming, sleazy funky basslines, jazz-pop saxophones and disco-inspired string arrangements; seamlessly blending in huge, detailled and tightly-arranged pop compositions among harsh beautiful attacks of relentless distortion guitars and the versatile spitting, howling and growling vocals of Jonatan K. Magnussen (Chopper). With elements of industrial acts such as Ministry and Skinny Puppy - placed in a decidedly weird context of early-00’s pop music, 70’s disco and glamrock, and 90’s eurodance and techno - “Shock Pop Vol. I”, the first installment in a forthcoming series of (shocking!) surprises, is brimming with creativity and playfulness. If Chopper’s debut-album was a carnival from hell, “Shock Pop Vol. I” is the perfect afterparty.
