Oh man I had no idea this is coming out. Definitely going to take a bunch of listens after class today, any idea who they have appearing on various tracks, if any? I particularly loved Junior Senior because of all of the artists that helped out with songs.
Waiting until I can have the whole thing, but definitely day one.
I have a hard time nailing down electronic genres, which is semi important to finding new music. Royksopp is the sweet spot for me: highly produced, dense sound, definitely on the dance side but not shallow. The slower stuff is even better, Silver Cruiser kills me.
So if you like Royksopp, can anyone suggest anything similar? Pls respond,GAF.
Currently enjoying: Chrome Sparks, Com Truise, Digitalism, Lone, Take.

Caribou is a little more earthy and a little less poppy, but still rather great, if you don't know him already.

I thought this thread was going to be about an Icelandic super-volcano that could kill us all.
You're right, it's a little more low key, and earthy is a good fit. I had tried Swim but not the new one. Thanks for the suggestion.
Looking for something more electronic as opposed to lo fi, that chunky synth from Do It Again or the main melody from Vision One.
There may only be one answer: new Royksopp

good album. rong sucks ass tho.
Yep I agree that this is AoTY material. Can't wait for the 10th!
If you haven't already, definitely give Purity Ring's "Shrines" a listen. Seems to be a perfect fit to what you're looking for.

It is a perfect fit, unfortunately, or fortunately, I've had the whole album on my phone for awhile. Great pick.
I'm trying out Rate Your Music now, kind of a chore but it will keep my busy until Royksopp drops.
Well if you find anything along those lines do let me know (ᵔ_ᵔ

Susanne Sundfor's solo albums The Brothel and The Silicone Veil are fantastic- I first heard of her from Running to the Sea. Also check out Luomo, The Knife, iamamiwhoami, Austra, Cold Cave, Trust.
Would also recommend checking Miike Snow and Monarchy out.

Yeah, Save Me is the standout track for me. It's consistently a fantastic album though.
Finally getting a chance to listen to this. I've been interupted way too many times while attempting to load the iTunes stream and my take so far:
Amazing:
Compulsion
Sordid Affair
You Know I Have to Go (Oh. My. God.)
I Had This Thing
Here She Comes Again
Like:
Skulls
Monument
Save Me
Running to the Sea
Coup De Grace
Thank You
Trash:
Rong
I can't seem to get some of the other songs to pop up on the iTunes preview so I'll just wait and see if they do. I've run out of skips for now.

They're gonna continue making music. Just not albums.

Jamie Irrepressible is all over this thing. Which works; his voice is a good fit for the tone Royksopp is chasing. I like how the tracks are staggered, too, as if Jamie Irrepressible is this crooning undercurrent of melancholia that the listener stumbles back into every other song.
I've only given it one listen so far and my initial impression is that it's pretty damn good, but not quite great. I like this more than Junior/Senior, but nothing tops their first two albums. What the fuck is wrong with Rong, indeed.

I'm so sad I missed them live. When I realized they were touring this year, they had already come to Seattle . I also don't know if they ever went to Chile too.

Didn't realize Running to the Sea was on this record. Magical.

Probably not new thread worthy but Royksopp are back with a new track with Susanne Sundfor called Never Ever and it's fucking immense. Avidly waiting for the studio version because it's one of the best tracks they've ever done. Confirms that they're still going to be making music too. Check it out.

I've had the YouTube video on repeat for days now. Never Ever is better than almost everything on The Inevitable End. Every collaboration with Susanne is just magic.
Agreed, have you listened to her latest album Ten Love Songs? It's fantastic.
