Back with info!
So… Regarding the release of Senior. As you correctly have noted, we promised you a release this April. We would like to start by apologizing for any false expectations this statement created. We love you, and we would never purposely misinform you. You see, instead of the release actually happening in April, a lot of other things happened.
Long story short, the toppling of the record industry finally rippled its way into our universe. As you all know, record companies have been having an “interesting” time lately, to say the least. Because of this, to ensure the best possible release scenario for Senior, we have gone through many changes on exactly who we’re releasing it with.
But now it’s all come together.
The album will be released at the end of August. And, even better, for those of you who live in places records are not released on time (and for everyone else too), we will also make the album available here on this website!
All in all, even though the extra wait is boring/ bad/ painful, this should be seen as good news. Senior is a very special release to us, and we would never release it without making sure it was in the best possible hands, when it comes to record companies and distribution. In a way, it’s almost fitting that it being a truly unique album, it would have a difficult start in life.
Best, Señor B + Señor B

May 25th, 2010 at 11:08 am
In August ?!!?!!? Are you insane ?! Well, I know you are
BUT WHY IN THE NAME OF CTHULHU AUGUST ??!
May 25th, 2010 at 11:11 am
Finally!
I can’t wait no longer.. That’s three extra months from now. Have You considered posting just one song from Senior as a gift or something like that for Your fans ?
May 25th, 2010 at 11:16 am
I can’t hide my disappointment when I see this. I want to listen to “our home” for example.
I’m sure you can give us some extracts or an online track to listen.
Thank you.
May 25th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
hooray! I’m glad it has all worked out for you guys!!
looking forward to august (:
May 25th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
You are the best! I love you!)
May 25th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
This Is Great News !
I Knew It Wasn’t In Their Hands…. I Knew It Was Because of The Record Label…
Anyway, As Someone Mentioned: Better Late Than Never Fro Senior…
And I Really Can’t Wait…
Hope To See You Guys In Montreal, Soon.
I Wish You The Best of The Best of Luck Svein and Torbjorn,
Fadel
May 25th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
As long as the album’s at least as great as all the previous ones, it’s all fine by me!
Keep us in the loop, so we can lay our hands on it asap!
May 25th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
it will be sad summer without your new music)
May 25th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
August? it will be over 100 degrees by then. Ill have been inside with nothing to listen for months……august. Don’t you know we are trapped inside here? BTW….come to Texas?
May 25th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
AUGUST!!??!! >:o(
I was checking iTunes like every freakin’ day in April waiting for the release. I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait though.
hmmm… how about you make it up to me by doing a show in New Hampshire, USA?
May 25th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Great ! Can’t wait to hear it :-*
May 25th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
No worries, guys. As we all know – all good things come to those who wait. And even better things come to those who wait the longest, as I´m confident Senior will be proof of…
May 25th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
Which label are you releasing the album on, out of interest? I’m assuming this has been decided now that you’re making this announcement.
Can’t wait until August.
May 25th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
Really,really wanted this album while around the pool this summer holiday but still got melody a.m,understanding & junior to listen to, so its not all bad!!
Like what ^^patrykm^^ says… maybe a free sample!!
May 25th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
Oh man. patrykm is on to something. String us along with a song, please. Anyway, keep up the amazing work, guys. I’m sure Senior is going to be amazing. Thanks for taking your music and your fans seriously.
May 25th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
I hope that this is the last and FINAL date! Any info about release in Japan?
May 25th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Torbjørn! You should get proper headsets… producing music with Koss Porta-pro is probably the real reason why Senior is delayed!
May 25th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Hey!
!
Atahe only thing – can say is: cab’t wait for August
Congrats, Señores!
All my best from México

May 25th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
I guess the plus for me is that I can get the album as birthday present.
Oh, and come to DC.
May 25th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
I’m so happy to hear/read that!!! Yeeey finally. I just can’t wait! Love you guys… Hahaha especially Svein
May 25th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Good news everyone! ^^
May 25th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
I was hoping for some good news, but this SUCKS. So much waiting only to find out that there’s going to be more waiting. D:
May 25th, 2010 at 3:13 pm
Thanks for keeping us updated! Most times when a record is delayed, the fans just wonder in silence about what’s going on. Take all the time you need. Your records are so wonderfully crafted, I’d rather wait a few more months and have it be perfect! And bravo for a digital release too!
May 25th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
OK, I’ll wait my señores.
May 25th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Thank you, Dears!!! I’m waiting for album with pleasure.
May 25th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
YAY! I’m SO excited for Senior! As much as I don’t really want to wait, I think it will be perfect timing… Senior seems like its going to be a great Autumn album
May 25th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
Thanks so much for letting us know. Even though the wait is longer, I see this as good news because:
Röyksopp cares enough about their fans to post this.
Senior will have a good label and distributor to ensure its release date.
Röyksopp loves you.
Also, Track of the Month will help us through it
May 25th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
Åh! Eg glede meg SÅÅÅÅÅ mye!!! Senior må jo bare bli knallbra!
May 25th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
I literally just cursed out loud. Im not gonna lie I dont know if I can wait till then but Im gonna have to…..love you guys
May 25th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
I had No idea a new album was on the works so for me this is amazing news , August is not that far away guys , lately I been listening to the other records like Melody AM and such , I also listen to other talented artist in electronica as well , BUT I always come back to Royksopp , you guys are so unique and exquisite , very pop but also different and smart . at the moment I’m addicted to ” None of Them” the lyrics are awesome.
May 25th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
You guys need to do what you need to do to be successful. If that means releasing in August, your fans are behind you 100% !
May 25th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
Remind me!
May 25th, 2010 at 4:12 pm
In August is my B-day so… “Senior” will be an excelent B-day present for me… thanks for your excellent music and please come soon to Mexico again, Royksopp forever!!! Saludos Señores!!!
May 25th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
[...] company turmoil. The good news is that Senior will see the light of day – and soon! On the Royksopp news page this morning, “Señor B + Señor B” announced that the new album will be out at the end [...]
May 25th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
sucks. I’m disappointed.
May 25th, 2010 at 4:24 pm
Thank You! All we have to do now is live long enough to get to that date
May 25th, 2010 at 4:45 pm

May 25th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
Very excited!!!! Please tour for Senior and please, please add Los Angeles to your tour list! The last LA show was amazing!!!!!!!
May 25th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
:/… Please Röyksopp come to Brazil, Rio de Janeiro
May 25th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
That’s great news!
I’m really looking for “Senior”, being my absolute this years must-have – so waiting a bit longer for it’s release really is alright and the better when it’s in good hands by then.
Also it’s never getting boring on the way, thanks to numerous events and the Track Of The Month feature.
Cheers
Sebastian
May 25th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
I kinda figured this would happen since there’s been no news lately and you guys have been describing it as a “autumn” sound, so it makes sense to release it closer to fall… The horrible wait though. You can make it up to us by coming to DC!
May 25th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
No amount of waiting will ever make me upset with this amazing musical group. But I’m glad I know when Senior is being released.
I’m just greatfull you guys keep making awesome music!!!
May 25th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
I have been waiting for months for you two to give us a bit of information on Senior…All I have to say is that Im super excited! You guys should do a tour in the UK later this year that would make my day even better!
May 25th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
Awesome, I can’t wait. Good luck!
May 25th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
[...] The new Röyksopp album, ‘Senior’, will be released at the end of August. Finally! Read more here [...]
May 25th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
You have failed me for the last time.
May 25th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
On one hand I can say I’m a bit disappointed ,but on the other- things you plan don’t always work right.
Anyway good luck guys… we’re all be expecting to your new album.
May 25th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
Yesssssssss!!!!!!!! i needed one already
May 26th, 2010 at 1:58 am
We love you guys! and sure August is gonna be painted in rainbow with your album…. so thank you in advance:)))
May 26th, 2010 at 6:33 am
and also, thanks for taking care of remote place (such as my Far East of Russia) – we usually ready to anticipate everything quiet longer than others.. мы вас любим
May 26th, 2010 at 6:36 am
August? Oh, this is gonna be a looooooooooong summer!
May 26th, 2010 at 7:05 am
Yes, as Koenodokio said, better late then never !
I know that I’m not really original, but one more time, thank you for your work !
May 26th, 2010 at 8:15 am
I guess its like a good meal, better to wait for something exceptional, which I am sure is what you are creating! Even after 15 moths, I still can’t stop enjoying Junior. This is my favourite album of all time. I can’t wait for the day you guys come and play in Sydney Australia. Keep up the great work
May 26th, 2010 at 10:11 am
WIll “I Wanna Know” be in senior?
Please yes.
May 26th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
Röyksopp Forever
Please remind me and come back to Luxembourg
Thanx
Senor G
May 26th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
OMG I just came — looking forward to it. thank you, Royksopp, for making good music.
May 26th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 26th, 2010 at 6:37 pm
yeahhhhhhhhhhh!
I’m sure can wait. thanks Royksopp.
May 26th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
I can’t wait.
May 26th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
Very excited by the news! Can’t wait for the release…
May 26th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
I’ll wait until Senior comes out
keep creating awesome music, Señores ❤
May 26th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
AWEsome! I’ll be looking forward to it. record labels are a nightmare to deal with. i’m happy to hear at this point artists are back in control and big wigs are scrambling to save their asses. fuck the labels if you guys could reach the fans directly. please come back to LA soon!
May 27th, 2010 at 12:50 am
Great news guys, August it is.
I will be waiting impatiently but at least I know when.
Thanks for keeping us fans in the loop:)
May 27th, 2010 at 2:50 am
no problem, I’m trusting you !!! sometimes it’s a better thing to wait a little more !
my turntable is waiting for you ! ;o)
kisses from Brittany (France)
May 28th, 2010 at 10:12 am
August is better than not to know when it comes. I’ll wait patiently. Since I found you with Junior I just love you! Can’t stop to listen to you music, here in little Germany
May 28th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
thank you so much for this news
so excited
May 29th, 2010 at 4:21 pm
Quite honestly, I can stand the wait… just as long as it means that you guys will keep making music. You two are simply spectacular. The quality of and the creativity / variety in the music you make offers listeners songs that are powerful and unique beyond the limits of so many other artists. Aside from being so enjoyable, what you put out and share with the world has an amazingly long shelf life, which in my world (and I’m sure in others’ as well), is such a strong measure of music. Keep it up.
May 29th, 2010 at 6:40 pm
I can wait everything you need to get this fantastic work in my hands.
Thanks a lot
May 30th, 2010 at 2:51 am
Takk og lov for at det va ei logisk forklaring bak forsinkelsen!! Og nu har vi ihvertfall en maaned aa se fram til! Men ae har fortsatt en ting ae lure paa: naar kommer daakker til London igjen!?
May 30th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
Ahhhhhh!!!! ROYKSOPP I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
Im so stoked for the album drop in august!
May 31st, 2010 at 9:24 am

ROYKSOPP!!!!
May 31st, 2010 at 9:28 am
Bra! Heia TIL!
May 31st, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Hi to Röyksopp & all the loyal fans…
Thanks for keeping us updated,
I’m sure the new release is worth waiting for.
Best wishes to all from Israel.
June 1st, 2010 at 5:46 pm
At last! some news from you guys! Really awesome!
Nice reading you! Can’t wait for Senior!
June 2nd, 2010 at 1:51 pm
I really can’t wait for Senior. Stop by sometime here in Florida, will you?
Take care you guys!
June 3rd, 2010 at 3:58 am
I was SOOOO excited when June came around because I read somewhere that Senior was going to come out on June 2nd……so that is just extremely disappointing, but I’m glad it’s coming out eventually. I’m also glad I read this before trying to go to all the cd stores in town. You are amazing though! Maybe consider visiting the United States! Tennessee would be a good state to visit too, just saying. Please?
June 4th, 2010 at 5:44 am

June 4th, 2010 at 10:34 am
Will you be touring? Way Out West in Göteborg? Caught your last show in LA and had a such a great time!
June 5th, 2010 at 9:22 am
Looking forward to it!
