Jo Berger Myhre is a Norwegian bass player, composer and producer known from his collaborations with amongst others Nils Petter Molvær, Mariam the Believer (Wildbirds&Peacedrums), Ólafur Björn Ólafsson (Sigur Rós), Hilary Woods, and his own band Splashgirl.

“Unheimlich Manoeuvre”, his first solo album, was released on the UK label RareNoise in 2021. His next solo studio album is expected in winter 2026. 
Myhre blends improvised music with ambient and with inspiration from his studies of Iranian music. The English translation of unheimlich is “uncanny” or “eerie” – an apt descriptor for the sounds that Myhre creates. To borrow a phrase from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, Myhre conjures aural landscapes that suggest “a place both wonderful and strange,” stunning in their beauty with something alluringly unsettling lurking just underneath.
