Crystal perfect electronica is quite the specialty with Röyksopp. The two Norwegians have adopted the frost-bitten winter soundscapes from Boards of Canada and added a shot of Euro dance, making the music travel from the north polar circle and straight onto the charts.

Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge broke the sound barrier with the million-selling Melody A.M. in 2001. The third album, Junior, has now seen the light of day – a beautiful winter child that already knocks about on the radio.

Popular ladies such as Lykke Li, Robyn and Karin Dreijer Andersson contribute vocals – which is understandable indeed. The Norwegian partners are outstanding when it comes to making electronic sounds with a temperature so low that you can see your own breath right in the middle of the dance floor.
