Happy Up Here

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:

  1. Happy Up Here
  2. The Girl And The Robot

  5. Röyksopp Forever
  6. Miss It So Much
  7. Tricky Tricky
  8. You Don’t Have A Clue
  9. Silver Cruiser
  10. True To Life
  11. It’s What I Want

    Happy Up Here is amazing, great direction you took! :)

  12. Hero_Raymond Says:

    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.

  15. robertfat Says:

    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
