The Dredge Return with Down the Beach

The Dredge Return with Down the Beach

Two years after their acclaimed debut Torches, Bergen-based duo The Dredge return with Down the Beach—an adventurous, genre-defying album that expands their unique artistic universe.

Blending elements of alternative rock, jazz, lounge, drum & bass, and the unexpected, Down the Beach is impossible to categorize yet instantly compelling. Through eight vividly crafted songs, The Dredge explore belonging, identity, and life's strange contradictions with wit, authenticity, and fearless creativity.

Featuring Kjetil Vikene (vocals, guitar, bass, keys) and Frode Røsjø (drums, backing vocals), with guest appearances from saxophonist Kjetil Møster, the album balances sophisticated musicianship with irresistible groove. Produced by Iver Sandøy & The Dredge, Down the Beach is a bold celebration of artistic freedom—unfiltered, unpredictable, and deeply rewarding.

“The Dredge is a perfect example of art conceived with complete creative freedom, while still being grooooovy.” — Morean, March 2026
