Hello world!
Phil Lynott once so eloquently said “The boys are back in town”, and never before have those words felt more accurate than now – for us at least. Every once in a while we surface to share our music and shed some light in an otherwise bleak reality. And that time is soon upon us, Ladies & Gents. Our third installment, called “Junior”, will be out on the 23rd of March 2009.
Sounds self centered and pompous, you say? Yes indeed! We’re so confident because this time around we’ve worked with the likes of Robyn and Lykke Li, as well as old time friends Anneli Drecker and Karin Dreijer – hence our enthusiasm!
Below you’ll find an intriguing tracklist over the songs featured on the new album. Oh, and make sure to get our new song “Happy Birthday” (for free) – a fun little piece we’ve made in shameless celebration of ourselves (our birthday was on the 15th of December).
Until then, dear friends…
Best,
Señor B + Señor B
Röyksopp ‘Junior’ tracklist:
- Happy Up Here
- The Girl And The Robot
- Vision One
- This Must Be It
- Röyksopp Forever
- Miss It So Much
- Tricky Tricky
- You Don’t Have A Clue
- Silver Cruiser
- True To Life
- It’s What I Want

You know…for you album Junior, you should add lyrics.

Welcome back, Maestros! Can’t wait to hear ‘Junior’.
January 19th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
23th March is gonna be the absolute highlight of 2009 – no the highlight of the whole decade! Looking forward to see you guys on Øya! (Hope you’ll play the Alpha Male-versoin from Molde – fantastic)
January 20th, 2009 at 12:05 am
Can. Not. Wait.
So excited for the next installment.
Will there be any singles before the album hits?
January 20th, 2009 at 12:13 am
Cheers!!
January 20th, 2009 at 4:48 am
I have been waiting since October 07.
Will Korene and I Wanna Know from Aker Molde on the new album?
January 20th, 2009 at 5:39 am
I’m wondering what kind of great video you have in mind for “Happy Up Here”. Does anyone know when it will be ready for MTV?
January 20th, 2009 at 5:42 am
Hi I CAN NOT WAIT xxx
January 20th, 2009 at 6:20 am
That’s a great track! Can’t wait to ear some more!!!
January 20th, 2009 at 6:23 am
I am sooo excited. Are we going to get a deluxe version? I pray to the gods we do.
January 20th, 2009 at 6:25 am
Happy Up Here is amazing, great direction you took!
January 20th, 2009 at 9:25 am
The new lineup is looking impressive. I’ve heard Lykke Li on Sirius before and thought she was a good singer. I’m even more impressed now that she’ll be on the new album. I wonder which song she’s singing on…
Anyway, since I don’t live in a place that is inaccessible to your tours (the middle of Texas sucks for Electronica), I always look forward to your studio albums. Thanks for the good work.
January 20th, 2009 at 9:43 am
Excellent!!!
Happy Up Here sounds brilliant.
We’ll wait for your next gig in Barcelona.
January 20th, 2009 at 9:44 am
Nice to see you guys back! Looking forward to the album and live show. For those that want to get an early ticket to a gig in the UK, the band have just been confirmed to play at the Southbank in London in April! http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/ether/
January 20th, 2009 at 9:49 am
Happy up here is fantastic! This song is very similar to the style of Eple but “updated” and…Happy! And I’m sure that this new album will be best!
But I’ve a request. Please, I’m begging you for a concert in Rome. We can’t wait much longer. Rome needs Röyksopp.
P.S.: Good work for the site. My compliments
January 20th, 2009 at 10:04 am
I love your music so much… I cannot wait for ‘Junior’ !
All the best, and hope to see you in concert soon!
January 20th, 2009 at 10:10 am

I’m very excited and happy about your newest album. I’ve been a fan since Royksopp began. I can chronicle my life based upon your albums and my listening to them. This newest album is going to be my “break-up, move on, do what I want with my life” album. Can’t wait. Going to UMF next month. Wish you were there.
