Norwegian-based quartet 120 Days have announced their long-awaited return with followup sophomore LP '120 Days II', set for a March 5th release with Splendour (Of Montreal/Casiokids, His Clancyness/Shimmering Stars). The band debuted a new video for their first single 'Osaka' as part of Club Mod, a new singles imprint by Modular and was remixed by Norwegian DJ/producer diskJokke. They have also remixed the likes of Austra and other female ingenues.

120 Days have been playing together since 2001 and their debut took them around the world, from America, where they signed with Vice Records, to Japan, where they played to crowds of 17,000+. It won them two Norwegian Grammys and was not only critically acclaimed but also commercially successful. But those subsequent five years have given them valuable, well-earned perspective, and their sophomore album proves that it's worth taking a little time out. '120 Days II' is darker, dirtier, fiercer and sharper than a debut full of, as Pitchfork loftily put it, "towering edifices", one which the website also claimed possessed "the conviction that all this technology has the potential to amplify, not suppress, the transmission of human emotion, should humans be courageous enough to try." To put it rather more simply, this new one is even better than the first.  

Currently touring Europe and playing select festival dates, the band will return stateside in the spring to support their forthcoming LP at SXSW 2012.
