Royksopp recorded two albums when they went into the studio to make Junior – the second half which comes out in September is Senior. Junior/Senior, nice. The senior sound, is a more mature and less vocal based than Junior – which had some of the most “pop” friendly tracks to date. Ever since my friend David introduced me to them in 2007 – I’ve been hooked. Catch a sample of the new album along with some senior characters in the video above.

Geezer for a day. I still need to shoot that short film idea. Until the album is released, take a listen to Junior. My favorite track is The Girl and the Robot.

Remind Me from Röyksopp on Vimeo.

Norwegian electronic duo, Royksopp, released their full-length debut album Melody AM in 2001. Melody AM, is one of those incredible albums that can be listened to straight through. Every track is solid. There is no pressing next or skipping ahead. Their downtempo electronic songs are beautiful and have been utilized by many television commercials. The video for Remind Me, won the 2002 MTV European Music Award for Best Video. No small feat, the video is a motion graphic nerd’s dream. Its use of animated infographics is captivating and exciting to watch. It also reminds me of Stephan Biesty cross section books I used to read in elementary school. So Remind Me reminds me of cross section infographics and is set to one of my favorite songs – sounds like a well deserved Video Of the Week.
