Pelicat is a group of friends that write and play timeless pop music. The four members all serve as producers and musicians for many other artists, and Pelicat is a common playground where they can record their music without any boundaries but from themselves. The result is a strong focus on melodies and a warm vibe, inspired by the likes of Harry Nilsson, George Harrison and other great songwriters of that era. The self-titled debut album was released in 2019, and they have since released an EP and a few singles. Their last one "Ava" (2022) quickly became a favorite among critics and fans, and it is still being played on major radio stations in Norway. The following single "The ballad of Faustino Asprilla" has become a favorite among football fans especially in England, has been played on stadiums such as St. James' Park and Anfield by the club DJs.

Their new single, «Keeping You Close to Me», is a catchy pop song with an easy going summer vibe at first glance, but the lyrics provide a layer of longing, resignation, and determination to keep moving forward despite challenges.

​

Their second album is finally done and will be out in autumn 2023. The band has taken leaps production-wise, and they sound fresher than ever. The lyrics are full of thoughts on how the years fly by, and suddenly what were once vivid, real-time experiences have become distant memories. The album is produced and mixed by Pelicat, and mastered by Victor Garcia.

Pelicat is Andreas Heinesen Kase (Vocals, guitar), Mads Johansen (Drums), Mattias Krohn Nielsen (Guitar), Jonas Rohde-Moe (Bass). They are based in Oslo, and have been a band since 2015.
