Röyksopp
Norwegian duo who have spent 25 years alternating between glacial downtempo and outright pop, usually with a guest vocalist worth the wait.
Röyksopp are Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland, who grew up in Tromsø in northern Norway and began working together in the 1990s before releasing their debut album, Melody A.M., in 2001. That record's mixture of warm downtempo, house rhythms and melancholy melody became a reference point for a generation of Scandinavian electronic music.
Subsequent albums, among them The Understanding, Junior, Senior and The Inevitable End, moved between instrumental pieces and outright pop songs, usually built around invited singers. Their long-running collaborations include work with Robyn, Karin Dreijer and Susanne Sundfør. Their more recent Profound Mysteries project returned to that same model of guest voices set against wide, slow-building synthesiser arrangements.
