Røyksopp are gearing up to release the flip side of last years utterly amazing ‘Junior’ album.
‘Junior’ not only made our top 20 albums but also had an inclusion in our top 20 songs of 2009 so if the duo are busting out the synths once more that cam only be good news!
Slated to be more instrumental, more freeform (maybe akin to their earlier works) than ‘Junior’, the new album, titles ‘Senior’ was conceived with each individual track being just one part of the whole.
In Røyksopp’s own words: “The two albums (‘Junior’ and ‘Senior’) have a kinship, in that they represent Røyksopp’s two very different artistic expressions. ‘Junior’ – with emphasis on vocals, accessible melodies and harmonies, has the energy, the inquisitive temper and confident “hey-ho, let’s go!”-attitude of youth, whereas ‘Senior’ is the introverted, dwelling and sometimes graceful counterpart – brimful with dark secrets and distorted memories, insisting “I’m old, I’ve got experience…”. Senior’ is furthermore an album about age, horses and being subdued – with devils breathing down your neck.”
Check the amusing trailer, there is nothing like a fake beard!
‘Senior’ is expected to drop 13th September
