"It's Album Time" is the long-awaited debut album from Norwegian producer, DJ and songwriter Todd Terje. On his debut album, Terje presents 12 of his works known and unknown, including the 2012 hit 'Inspector Norse' and a chilled, haunting cover of Robert Palmer's 'Johnny And Mary'

The title of Norwegian nü-disco master Todd Terje’s only full-length record to date is a joking acknowledgement that all hyped DJ/producers inevitably make the leap from 12-inches and edits to “serious” album statements. Terje approaches this common rite of passage as a truly special once-in-a-lifetime event—one that demands dressing up in your finest evening attire and cracking open that bottle of bubbly in the back of your fridge. You don’t so much listen to It’s Album Time as step into its cosmic cocktail-lounge fantasia. Like a proper host, Terje sets the perfect pace for the evening’s indulgences, laying out the tantalizing hors d’oeuvres (the frothy space-funk trifles that comprise the record’s opening suite) before serving the main course (the hedonistic electro-house pleasures of “Strandbar” and “Delorean Dynamite”). In his effort to reshape the DJ/artist album template in his own eccentric image, Terje can’t help but indulge in one cliche of the form: the rock-star cameo. But in this case, it’s hardly a calculated crossover attempt: by enlisting Bryan Ferry for a moody, minimalist reading of Robert Palmer’s 1980 new wave nugget “Johnny and Mary,” Terje provides both a well-timed respite from the album’s relentless revelry and a sympathetic portrait of the lost souls most in need of it.
