Ibens is primary classified as indie, but parts of electronica and pop punk also take place in their music. Ibens was formed in 1993, and in the summer of 1996 Ibens released an EP, which lead to an contract in the fall. Ibens broke through in 1997 with their first eponomyous album and played several concerts and the "Roskilde Festival". In 1997 they split due to pdifferences, but in 1998 the band was born again - in a new lineup. The album "Maskulin" was released to little success. This lead to a long hiatus, where the lead singer Carsten Lykkereleased the solo album "Selvoptaget", and scored a big hit with "Hvis Frederik Var Til Fyre". After the two original members Carsten Lykke and Henrik Marstal met at a concert in 2002, Ibens were once again reunited. "Ufornuft" (came out February 2005) and was the third album, and was made in Carsten's apartment. Previous songs of Ibens was often fun, fire-on, tempo and extrovert, but now there was an agreement, that they needed to show the other side of Ibens - the serious side. One of the songs deals with dying ex. - "Ufornuft" should be a record, that you want to give to your new girl-/boyfriend’s friends. A record, that is not distinctive in bitterness. Some of the things we tried to transfer into the ablum is when reality becomes poetic. - (from Carsten Lykke interview to a danish music-site "Gaffa". In 2008 they published a album called "17 hits" which includes the greatest hits by Ibens and Carsten Lykke. . However Ibens is currently working on the writing and recording of a new album. -------------- Ibens var et dansk poptrio bestående af Carsten Lykke, Henrik Marstal og Kristian Obling Høeg, der i slutningen af 1990'erne havde succes med sange som "Ølstykke i november", "Jeg savner min blå cykel", "Solveig" og "Dengang jeg var 18 år". Gruppen blev dannet i 1993 af Lykke og er siden blevet gendannet og gået i opløsning flere gange. Ibens opnåede størst succes mellem 1996 og 1999 med pladerne ibens og Maskulin, og bandet har desuden været samlet i perioderne 2004-2008 og senest 2012-2013.
