Lemaitre (pronounced French: [ləmɛtʁ]) is a Norwegian indie electronic duo hailing from Oslo. The duo consists of members Ketil Jansen and Ulrik Denizou Lund, who met originally as schoolmates in Lillehammer, in southeastern Norway. Jansen and Lund came together to form Lemaitre on 20 June 2010. Lemaitre currently lives in Los Angeles, California.
Since the duo's inception in summer 2010, Lemaitre has released a number of EPs, including the Relativity Series: Relativity 1, 2, 3 and Relativity by Nite; The Friendly Sound; and Singularity.
The duo released their seventh EP, 1749, on 29 January 2016.
During an interview, Lund and Jansen explained that the band is named after Georges Lemaître, a Belgian priest who first proposed the Big Bang Theory and derived the physics concept now referred to as Hubble's Law. In a 2014 music discovery piece with Interview magazine, Jansen further added, "[Lemaitre] means 'master' in French", though the pair were unaware of this when first choosing a name for the project.
Lemaitre's first track was titled "Momentum", now dating 7 years since its initial release. This track was one of two tracks released prior to releasing their debut EP, The Friendly Sound—the other being "Primeval Atom".
Lemaitre is most commonly recognized for their series of EPs: the Relativity Series. This series consists of the following EPs: Relativity 1, Relativity 2, Relativity 3, and Relativity By Nite. The duo was praised for their use of all original samples.
Relativity By Nite was differed from most of Lemaitre's previous EPs in that it was longer in comparison to previous EP releases and almost entirely consisted of unheard remixes and instrumental pieces.
