Royksopp

Add Date: March 24

Artist: Royksopp

Album: Junior

Label: Astralwerks

Genre: Electronica

Comments: Norwegian electronic duo Royksopp brings us a fitting mix of up-tempo beats and light, dreamy vocals on their third full-length, Junior. Featuring vocalists such as Robyn, Lykke Li, Karin Dreijer-Andersson (The Knife) and Anneli Drekker (Bel Canto), Junior has a wide array of talent on-board their latest production; however, the pure electronic, vocal-free songs (such as “Royskopp Forever”) still shine. Half catchy and danceable, and half chill-out and downtempo, “Junior” is another electronic-music staple. Start with tracks 1 and 2 (both singles; track 2—“The Girl and the Robot”—starts out sounding like an 80’s classic before Robyn’s vocals kick in), 5 and 10.

I've been waiting for these guys to come out with this album forever...and the wait was well worth it! Much more like Melody AM, their debut album, which is great to hear! So far I am loving all of the tracks, but "Happy up Here" (track 1) is beautiful as it is simple. Welcome back Royksopp!
