Grammy-Nominated Producer & Alias Jerry Folk X FENGSEL shares ‘Better Days’ Single & Video

Together with his secondary alias, FENGSEL, electronic producer Jerry Folk released his new single and video, ‘Better Days’, on the 23rd of June via Folkestad Recordings. The single was premiered by Metal Magazine and received early support from thissongissick. The song follows his 2022 EP Castle Tapes, which, like his debut album Dotted Red, was nominated for a Norwegian Grammy Award. The Norwegian producer has previously garnered support from Complex,  Mixmag,  Clash Magazine, Magnetic Magazine, Your EDM, Ones To Watch, Dancing Astronaut, Run The Trap, Acid Stag, KALTBLUT Magazine, and Highsnobiety. His music has aired on NPR and BBC Radio 1xtra and Radio 1 radio with Yasmin Evans, Jamz Supernova, Nick Grimshaw, and Diplo And Friends.

Born and based in Oslo, Jerry Folk has always been a traveller at heart. Each of his songs is unique in its own right, a natural result of the producer refusing to stick to a single genre. Drawing on the likes of James Blake, Sevdaliza, Sbtrkt, Kaytranada and Flume as the inspiration for his diverse multi-genre discography, he pushes himself to new limits. In the past, he remixed Billie Eilish, Charlie Puth and Oh Wonder, produced for artists like Alina Baraz, Axwell Ingrosso and Lemaitre to name a handful, and earned over 350 million streams across platforms.

‘Better Days’ established the nostalgic mood that pervades the video throughout. We watch as a boy develops into a teenager and then a man. As the video progresses, we see his interests change, from playing to drawing to listening to music. Watching it brings back old feelings, a sense of longing for the days we once had, the so-called better days of youth.
