Ideofon

Tromsø, Norway

Ideofon is an indie rock band from the vibrant music scene of Tromsø, Norway, blending catchy melodies with dreamy soundscapes. At the heart of it is singer, bassist, and composer Askil Fangel, who combines elements of rock, indie, film music, and electronica. The music comes to life with Tor-Eivind’s dynamic drumming, Sondre’s intricate guitar work, and Sirann’s emotional, classically-inspired keys.​ Their sound draws from both Norway’s stunning landscapes and diverse influences like Radiohead and Bon Iver. They often push the boundaries of traditional songwriting, creating a distinct musical identity with emotional vocals and atmospheric instrumentation. With strong roots in Tromsø’s rich music scene, Ideofon is ready to make waves locally, nationally, and globally.​ They're currently promoting their debut album Finder’s Keep, which Askil recorded in a bedroom in London during the 2020/2021 lockdown. Now, the band is working on their second album as a full group, working with — among others — the Arctic Philharmonic Orchestra. This studio album is set to release in 2025. The international team includes producer Kevin Skaggs, originally from Los Angeles and now based in Kraków, who has worked with artists like Giorgio Moroder, Lady Gaga, and Tony Bennett over his 20+ year career.
