Whose Rules released a new single and video for “Slow Down.” Whose Rules is the project from 26 year old producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Marius Elfstedt signed to Norwegian tastemaker label 777 Music.

“Slow Down” arrives as part of a forthcoming project born out of the solitude found within the walls of the COVID pandemic living in Hasler, Norway. Marius Elfstedt found solace as the world shut down inside of his studio in the middle of the Scandinavian wilderness. Wooden, log walls, haplessly strewn posters, old second-hand couches, and a teeming collection of guitars and synths created an escape for creation. Of the track, Elfstedt said “I often feel like time is moving too fast so I made this song to help joyful moments last longer.”

Marius Elfstedt grew up on a flower farm in a rural area roughly an hour outside of Oslo. Four years ago, while exploring his family’s farm, he came upon an abandoned cabin and re-purposed it into a recording studio to make music with his friends and other artists alike. Parallel to his work as an artist is what he does behind the scenes for artists such as Dev Lemons, Tigerstate, Selmer, Ralph Castelli and Elah Hale, Whose Rules released a self titled EP in 2020, followed by a handful of collaborative released with Dev Lemons (Guessing Games and Don’t You See the Time).
