Food shopped today! This was the sky at Tesco!
I wont make a habit of this, but I think the new album from Norwegian duo 'Royksopp' definitively needs a mention. I first heard of Royksopp when my Dad bought their album by chance in Borders in late 2001. As I was very young at the time, my appreciation for their first 'Melody A.M.' album was insufficient. Thankfully in later years I would re-discover the musical perfection that was that album along with their second outing in the form of the 'The Understanding'. I am sure that it was groups like this who gave me my founding in Electronic music thanks to my Dad's music choice and that of my best friend. To then chance hear a new Royksopp track on the radio today really sent a rush of joy to my heart. Coincidentally my sister had heard it in H&M last sunday and informed me that I would have loved it. She was right. In which case the latest production, titled 'Junior', had to not only live up to my sisters recommendation, but also to a nostalgic fondness I have for the group, carefully cultivated over the years. After a full listen, I can safely say that this is another one for the playlist of eternal plays. Like 'The Understanding', 'Junior' is its own album by right, but with that same Royksopp flare that was ever present in the others. Although there are stand-out tracks, for example the title of this post, which get better on each play, the whole album makes for a great listen. For an artist who would certainly appear in my top five favorite if ever quizzed, I am happy once again to have some new Royksopp material for ears to divulge for the next four or so years.
Here is my chosen single from the album=
Royksopp- happy up here
