About after the movies

A Norwegian slowcore, shoegaze and lo-fi indie band from Trondheim.

after the movies is a Norwegian slowcore, shoegaze and lo-fi indie band from Trondheim. This site is the band's official home on the internet, a single place to find their music, videos, archive and press.

The band began with two childhood friends from Tiller, outside Trondheim. Morten Samdal and Thomas Ingdal grew up on the same football team in the 1990s, and years later found their way back to each other through music. What started as a way to spend time together became a slowcore project built on fragile melodies, imperfect home recordings and songs about memory, absence and the things left unsaid.

This website is for listeners who love slowcore, shoegaze, lo-fi indie, post-rock, old emo, indie rock and indie pop, anyone drawn to quiet, melancholic music that rewards patience. Here you can stream the debut single “stars”, watch its official video, browse the archive of little films and forgotten moments, read the band's story, and follow new singles as they arrive. The debut album, eleven songs, will follow the singles “stars” (6 November), “beautiful” (23 November) and “youth” (11 December).

after the movies is an independent project. The site is built and maintained by the band themselves, with releases on How is Annie Records. For press, booking or questions, the Contact page lists how to reach them.
