Röyksopp by Stian Andersen
Röyksopp will play The Troxy in London on February 19th.
New NTO and Club versions of Oh, Lover have launched Röyksopp’s remix of their Profound Mysteries II album.
More alternate takes of tracks from the record are to come during the next few months from both new and established producers, continuing the Profound Mysteries venture which brought volume III at the end of last year.
“Cynics might think that the third instalment of anything is rarely worth waiting for, but in fact III is arguably the series pinnacle, depending on how you take your dreamy Scandinavian synth pop,” our review reads.
“Opener So Ambiguous is melancholy, retro-cinematic and heavy on strings and flutey breezes, but that’s an old trick used by skilled producers to get our minds in float away mode. From this point on there’s a euphoric, final show of the tour feeling, although the bangers are generally of the sad variety.”
“In this mode – as on the spiralling, flawless pop of Me&Youphoria – the ground is familiar and the execution flawless, and Stay Awhile, which co-stars long-time associate Susanne Sundfør, goes long instead on pared back beats and yearning, the sort of gentle deep space vibes with which careers were built.”
