First, those who didn’t make into top 5, but qualifies to our “Honorable Mentions”:
Wolverine – “Ferocious animal who doesn’t back out of a fight – although not much bigger than an average medium-sized dog, it has been known to take down prey as large as moose. Now that’s will & stamina in a lethal mix. Looks fairly handsome as well.”
Starfish – “Lazy fish that has understood the importance of esthetics and taking it slow. Doesn’t do very much (or at least so we believe) – it just sort of sits there. Get’s credit for the ability to regenerate lost arms.”
Welcome to our still-smoking, straight-out-of-the-kitchen boxfresh website! Here you’ll be able to tap in to the universe of Röyksopp – or at least scratch the surface of it.
“Happy Up Here, the first single from Norwegian duo’s upcoming Junior, is a lightly percolating walk through the clouds, its rubbery synthesizers and wispy vocals suggesting a sunny-day equivalent to Air’s Moon Safar.” Pitchfork.
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.
