Chrome Hill is a jazz quartet from Oslo, Norway, originating from the Norwegian Academy of Music. [1] The band changed its name from Damp with the release of the album Earthlings in 2008. Chrome Hill has played in Norway, Sweden, England, France, Portugal and Japan.
In 2008 the album Earthlings was released under the band name Chrome Hill. Along with the change of name, came also a change of style. The music was no longer acoustic, with Asbjørn Lerheim's use of electric and baritone guitars, and clearly inspired by Americana and noise rock. The album was released by the Norwegian record label Bolage. [2] The band released the album Country of Lost Borders in 2013, also on Bolage. In 2018 the band released The Explorer on Clean Feed Records.
