Though King Midas Began In Oslo In 1994 One Wouldn’t Think So. ”Scandinavia” Released Just Before The Millenium Went Largely Unnoticed. With “Romeo Turn” The Music Press Finally Gave Them The Attention They Wanted But The Label Going Bankrupt Prevented Them From Furthering Their Art Pop/electronica/lounge-Jazz/blues/psychedelia – In Short Terms Their Little Piece Of Cultural Revolution – To The Masses. For Their Fourth And Fifth Albums “The Jaguars” In 2005 And “Sorry” In 2007 King Midas Signed With Universal. After Six Silent Years King Midas Finally Reemerged In 2013.
