Röyksopp to release instrumental album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 25 June 2010
Röyksopp have announced that they will release an album of instrumental tracks later this year. The tracks were recorded at the same time as last year’s ‘Junior’, though its musical focus is different.
The duo explain: “The two albums have a kinship, in that they represent Röyksopp’s two very different artistic expressions. ‘Junior’ [has its] emphasis on vocals, accessible melodies and harmonies, has the energy, the inquisitive temper and confident ‘hey-ho, let’s go!’ attitude of youth, whereas ‘Senior’ is the introverted, dwelling and sometimes graceful counterpart – brim full with dark secrets and distorted memories, insisting ‘I’m old, I’ve got experience…’ ‘Senior’ is furthermore an album about age, horses and being subdued – with devils breathing down your neck”.
‘Senior’ is due for release through Wall Of Sound on 13 Sep. Here’s the tracklist:
…And The Forest Began To Sing
Tricky Two
The Alcoholic
Senior Living
The Drug
Forsaken Cowboy
The Fear
Coming Home
A Long, Long Way
