Ex Norwegian Return With Fiery New Single "Don't Go Miles On Me"
The Miami indie veterans drop their first original single in over a year — and it's a retro-fueled, '60s garage-rock knockout.
Ex Norwegian are back with their first original material in over a year, and it hits like a retro-drenched freight train. "Don't Go Miles On Me," released February 20th, is a raw, revved-up slice of 1960s-soaked garage rock that finds this long-running (formerly based) Miami indie outfit digging into a thrillingly atypical sound.

Forget everything you thought you knew about their sonic playbook. From the first bars, "Don't Go Miles On Me" channels the gnarly, riff-heavy swagger of the Kinks circa 1966 — but tracked with a sun-bleached L.A. haze that gives the whole thing a wonderfully unhinged, transatlantic energy. The grooves are deep, the arrangements are tight, and the production crackles with the kind of analog grit that most modern bands can only dream about.
Flip the single over and the surprises keep coming. The B-side is a scorching take on "Bereft" by the criminally underappreciated Andy Pratt — reimagined here with the same combustible garage energy that fuels the A-side. It's a deep cut, a curveball, and further proof that Ex Norwegian never do anything by half measures.
"Don't Go Miles On Me" b/w "Bereft" is out now. Stream it, spin it, crank it loud.
