Royskopp
Junior

If you have never listened to these fantastic Norwegians now is the time to start. Royksopp’s new album Junior (despite it’s unoriginal name) is chucked full of creativity. Their arrays of techno and dance beats are similar to their pervious albums, but the uplifting mood of Junior makes not listening to it all the time very difficult.

Featuring Swedish singer Robyn, and the familiar voice of Karin Dreijer Andersson from their previous albums, this is the perfect album for devoted fans or new listeners because it is divertible, yet innovative. The string instrumental interlude in the song “Royksopp Forever” and passion filled vocals of "You Don't Have a Clue" takes this album way beyond the run-of-the-mill electronic music. This is truly is crafted art.

However, the joyful laughter at the beginning of the first track sealed the deal for me. Every time I start this album (which has been 4 times in two days) I am instantly excited for the electronic journey about to fill my ears.

Despite contrary belief, you do not need any sort of drug enhancers to enjoy this music, (shocking, I know!) because there is something distinctly enjoyable about these guys and the way they create their beautifully lucid music.
