Childhood's End

Childhood's End is a compilation album of cover songs by Norwegian experimental collective Ulver. Produced by Ulver, the album was recorded live in Crystal Canyon Studios, Oslo, over two sessions, in autumn 2008 and summer 2011, and issued in May 2012 on Jester Records under exclusive license to Kscope. The album is a collection of covers of "60s psychedelic chestnuts", a reinterpretation of mostly obscure 1960s psychedelia, intended by Ulver as a reflection on lost innocence. In a Kscope video interview, Kristoffer Rygg commented, "I grew up with parents who were still listening to music from the time, so it informed my childhood, and it has become an ever increasing geeky sort of fetish since then", adding, "[M]y feeling is that most people's knowledge sort of limits itself to The Doors. The Doors were cool, but there was so much else going on… in the underground, records that got lost and didn't get as much recognition as they deserved in my opinion. We wish to be ambassadors for things that we love and we sort of hope that we can open some gates with the record."
