Röyksopp

Kings of Nordic electronica Röyksopp first came to worldwide attention with their first album "Melody A.M" standing out like the Northern Lights. The pair constantly break down labels with each release, but always keep a sound and warmth essentially Röyksopp.

From Melody A.M's chill out beginnings exemplified by releases like "Eple" and "Poor Leno", Fast forward to 2005's "The Understanding" with the haunting "What else is there?" featuring The Knife.

If their sonic arc wasn't wide enough this year's introspective album "Junior" (if only by nationality) is an A-list of Norwegian musical talent.
Guests as diverse as artist's Lykke Li, Robyn. As well as "Bel canto" lead Anneli Drecker and collaborative favourite Karin "The Knife" Dreijer Andersson back for a second slice.

With a back catalogue filled with bass heavy romanticism, haunting guest slots, analogue warmth, bizarre timbres, Royskopp's sound will translate into a live show as mysterious as their Aurora Borealis.

"What a comeback. Junior is pretty damn perfect. Royksopp's talent lies in updating the retro-futuristic sounds of the past, and demystifying them of their unforgiving sheen into a warm and somewhat special moment"- BBC Music Review

"…splits the difference between the cute, poppy Röyksopp and the darker, techno-friendly Röyksopp, the most satisfying thing about "Junior" is how convincingly they've bridged that divide" - Pitchfork
