When it comes to delayed guitars, a distant feeling of post-rock and ambient lofi, fnonose is certainly up there.

This time Martin brings along a mate - a long-term collaborator morningtime with whom the Norwegian producer crafts one of the most calming beats we've released in a while. Gentle piano keys and spaced-out indie chords perfectly intertwined with fnonose's signature lofi sound. "expiration date" was created not as a resignation to uncertainty, but as an ode to it — a reminder that life constantly evolves and that it is okay for it to do so.

The dream team share, "We’ve become friends through music. And through our music, we’ve chatted about our lives and how the sounds of our everyday find themselves in the sounds of the songs. Themes of uncertainty loom large for us and for everyone around us. Nothing in life is certain, and the fear of that uncertainty can be cause for discomfort. We titled the song “expiration date,” not as a resignation to uncertainty, but as an ode it — a reminder that life constantly evolves, and that it is ok for it do so."
