1 album / credit record(s) · Synth-pop
Norwegian synth-pop trio formed in Oslo in 1982 by Morten Harket (lead vocals), Magne Furuholmen (keyboards, guitars, vocals), and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (guitars, main songwriter). The band moved to London to pursue a recording career and broke through worldwide with their 1985 debut album Hunting High and Low, propelled by the international number-one single 'Take On Me' and its pioneering rotoscope-animation music video. They followed with Scoundrel Days (1986) and Stay on These Roads (1988), and recorded the James Bond theme 'The Living Daylights' (1987) for The Living Daylights.
