"Bergen, Norway is a completely quaint European hamlet, a seaside city of 235,000 inhabitants that's been called 'the gateway to Norway's fjords.' There's a stone castle right on the harbor, a bustling fish market, and a neat little trolley that takes tourists straight up the side of a steep cliff overlooking the city. It rains. A lot. It's somewhere between the laid back cosmopolitan vibe of San Francisco and the coffeehouse charm of Seattle. But this one particular town also has an unreal musical pedigree, particularly in recent years: Kings of Convenience, Royksopp, Sondre Lerche, and Annie make their homes in Bergen, and so does Even Johansen, who records as Magnet."
