Press Info:
Mute US is excited to announce the release of Dance Therapy, the sophomore album from worldwide signing Nora Schjelderup, aka Ora the Molecule. The album will be available on black vinyl and digital formats on March 21st.

Dance Therapy follows a transformative period for Schjelderup, whose DJ career took off postpandemic. She has shared the stage with fellow Norwegian legends like Todd Terje and Lindstrøm, and opened for Røyksopp, earning her the title of Norway’s queen of disco. Inspired by her DJ sets, ‘70s sci-fi sounds and Italo-disco, Dance Therapy is a retro-futuristic fever dream which Schjelderup crafted in a remote cabin in the woods while navigating a series of severe losses. “I had a lot of pain,” she reflects. “This was my own way of dealing with it. A way to get energy back in the body.”

Much of Dance Therapy’s first half features ebullient, infectious dance anthems including the singles “Intergalactic Dance” and “Løveskatt’ while the second half grapples with grief, mortality and heartbreak with reflective tracks like “Cyber Fever,” Evig Ung,” and “New Years.”

The album announcement comes alongside the airing of Schjelderup’s debut performance on NRK, Norways largest media broadcasting company.

Note: in EU the digital stuff is provided by management company Hyperion Artists
