Spleen United
Spleen United are a Danish electronic rock and synth-pop band formed in Aarhus, Denmark, in 2002. The band consists of Bjarke Niemann (lead vocals, synth), Kasper Nørlund (synth, backing vocals), Rune Wehner (synth), Gaute Niemann (bass, guitar), and Jens Kinch (drums). The members have roots in Jelling, Denmark, and relocated from Aarhus to Copenhagen in 2007.
Known for combining synthesiser-driven electronics with rock instrumentation and pop-oriented songwriting, Spleen United emerged as one of the most prominent Danish alternative acts of the mid-to-late 2000s. Their debut album, Godspeed into the Mainstream (2005), established the band nationally, while commercial success followed with Neanderthal (2008), which topped the Danish album chart. After the release of School of Euphoria (2012), the band entered a hiatus amid line-up changes and internal tensions.
Spleen United reunited in their original line-up in 2019 and returned to recording with The Blur of Zebras (2024), their first studio album in twelve years.
