Ugress has released three albums. The first one, Resound (2002), was a huge success, and climbed to the second place on the official Norwegian chart board. The second one, Cinematronics, was released two years later but did not receive the critical acclaim of Resound. The latest Ugress album titled “Unicorn” was released on January 28th, 2008.
In 2006, Ugress released 3 EP’s: Sophisticated Wickedness (Feb 2006), Retroconnaissance (May 2006) and Kosmonaut (October 2006). In 2007 they released the EP Chromosome Corrupt (September 2007). All of them are available for free download on the artist’s website.
News, full dicography, downloads and other information about Ugress can be found at the official site http://www.ugress.com/.
Ugress means weed in Norwegian (weed as in an unwanted plant and not as in the street name for cannabis).
Ugress’s music can be related to other artists as The Crystal Method, The Chemical Brothers and Propellerheads. Some similarity to Röyksopp has been suggested, but Ugress is known to have a more “dirty” style. Ugress is also known for using lots of sample snippets from various artists and TV shows. Often Ugress is mistaken for being the name and only project of Gisle Martens Meyer, but Ugress is actually one of several projects by Uncanny Records. Each project spawns its own music style but nevertheless you can recognize the “vibe” that goes through most of the available music.
