Still drifting …

To honour a-ha on the 40th anniversary of their fantastic debut album, Hunting High and Low, I have chosen to record a cover version of Driftwood, the fan-favourite B-side to The Sun Always Shines on T.V., originally released on 16 December 1985 in the United Kingdom.

Forty years later to the day, this amazing song will be given new life in the form of a new version that both honours the original and brings a fresh, modern take on it.

The song has been produced by Robbie Bronnimann and was recorded at Mezzanine Studio in Bristol, England, and at JB Music Studio at Hurum in Asker municipality in Norway.

«I remember buying the twelve-inch single and constantly putting this one on,» says John Berge. «Sometimes B-sides are great tracks that deserved to be on the album — this is one of those gems fans just love,» he adds.

«It was a daunting task to create a new version together with Robbie, but we immensely enjoyed the process. It was great fun, and we hope people will like it as much as we do.»
