The White Birch is a Norwegian slowcore project of Ola Fløttum, formed in Oslo, Norway in 1996. Previously a trio composed of Ola Fløttum, Hans Christian Almendingen, and Ulf Rogde, the band released three studio albums and then broke up after the band played their last show in 2006. However, Ola Fløttum released their fourth album The Weight of Spring in 2015, nearly ten years after their last release.
The name comes from the 1994 album The White Birch by the band Codeine, one of the cornerstones of slowcore. They are sometimes called the "Norwegian Sigur Rós."
