The first record, ''Walking Home From Nicole's'', was released one year later with significant help from singer/songwriter Karen Jo Fields.
In November 2001 the band saw the addition of guitarist Jon Arild Stieng and the duo went on tour for the first time in the spring of 2002. Berczelly left the band and concentrated full-time on producing, which he has done for the band ever since.
The band's next album ''If I Told You'', ''You Were Beautiful'' was recorded in Stieng's house in Oslo that same summer, and was released in October. For the upcoming tour of spring 2003 keyboardist Harald Sommerstad joined, and the band was now a trio.
Prior to the Norwegian Quart-festivalen the same year, the band was extended further by drummer Halvor Høgh Winsnes (Fast Winston Doom of Thulsa Doom) and bassist Henrik Widerøe. The band was complete and in the late summer "Up For You & I" was recorded at Sommerstad's cabin near Halden in the south of Norway. The album was released in January 2004, and was an immediate success, boasting 24 weeks on the official Norwegian albums chart, a gold record and numerous price award nominations for best Norwegian pop album of the year.
After the following tour of more than 100 gigs both nationally and abroad (France, Switzerland and Germany), the band spent the greater part of 2005 in Berczelly's studio, and released their fourth album 'Reasons To Hang Around' in January 2006. For it, they were awarded the Norwegian Grammy equivalent Spellemannsprisen.
2007 saw the release of 'Candy Store', a compilation featuring 2 discs, the first one containing a selection of the band's favourites and the second one containing previously unreleased material. After the release of the album, the band embarked on a Norwegian tour in September, followed by tours of Germany, France and Switzerland during the first four months of 2008.
In 2009 the band released 'Either Way I Think You Know'. The music featured on this album has been compared to the works of Tindersticks and Midlake. After touring to promote the album, Minor Majority went on hiatus.
Leader Pål Angelskår decided to focus on his solo career and released 2 albums in 2012 and 2015.
Minor Majority returned with their first album in 10 years in 2019 entitled 'Napkin Poetry'.
It was followed by 'The Universe Would Have to Adjust' in 2021, the band's seventh studio album.

Minor Majority Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things I don't even tell my friends
This is a song that I've been
humming on for way too long
The hidden track left at the end
You're such a snob, but you're such a super girl
You're such a snob,
but when reconsiderin',
you've got all the things I want..
These are the streets we walked,
the memories we're leaning on
These are the images I've saved
These are the girls I should've left alone,
I'd been better off
This is where I am today
You're such a snob, but you're such a super girl
Anyday now they'll know
You're such a snob, but if you get through to me,
then I won't have to walk alone
This is the t-shirt I've been
carrying for all these years
It's got your picture on the front
This is the pride I take in
wearing it and sharing it
With everyone who needs to know
You're such a snob, but you're such a super girl
But anyday now it'll show
You're such a snob, but you're such a super girl
Think it's time you sang along.
This one's for rock'n'roll, for magazines, for radio
For all the times it knocked me out
This one's for showing up when
everyone thought you were gone
This one's for never giving up.
You're such a slow, but you're such a super girl
Now it's time to carry on
You're such a slow, but you're such a super girl
Here's a heart that you'd want
You're such a slow, but you're such a super girl
Anyday now you'll be known
You're such a slow, but you're such a super girl
Those whom the gods love grow young
Those whom the gods love grow young
The song "Supergirl" by Minor Majority is a heart-wrenching tribute to an unrevealed love interest. The verses reveal that the singer never got the chance to express their true feelings to this person, which is made even more painful by the fact that they don't even feel comfortable confiding in their friends about it. It's a secret love, like a hidden track at the end of an album, that's been humming in the singer's mind for too long. This person is described as a snob, yet a super girl. Someone who has all the qualities that the singer admires, but also exudes an air of superiority. The chorus repeats the idea that this person will soon be known for who they really are, but there's a sense of desperation in it. If this person doesn't get through to the singer soon, they'll continue to feel alone.
The song also reflects on the memories that the singer shared with this person, the places they walked, and the images that have been saved in their memory. There's a sense of regret in the lines "These are the girls I should've left alone, I'd been better off. This is where I am today." The singer seems to be saying that they made mistakes in their relationships, but they ended up where they belong. The song ends on a positive note, celebrating rock'n'roll, magazines, radio, and the persistence that the "supergirl" has shown. The final lines, "Those whom the gods love grow young," are an optimistic commentary on the power of love and the idea that it can make us feel youthful and alive again.
