RÖYKSOPP RETURN WITH NEW ALBUM “JUNIOR”

(New York, NY – Jan. 12th, 2009) – Norwegian duo Röyksopp, Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland have announced the release of their 3rd studio album, Junior, set for release by Astralwerks Records on March 24th, 2009.  Junior follows the band’s 2001 platinum break-through Melody A.M and 2005’s The Understanding.

As always, Berge and Brundtland wrote, performed, arranged, mixed and produced the 11 tracks on Junior which  features guest vocals from Swedish artists Robyn, Lykke Li and Karin Dreijer as well as fellow Norwegian Anneli Drecker, who appeared on Röyksopp’s debut Melody A.M

If Melody A.M. was a relaxed journey inwards on a Sunday afternoon and The Understanding was more uptempo, with more vocals and a hint of melodic catchiness, then the new album is a mix of the two.” – Berge

In celebration of the band’s birthday (December 15th), the duo released a new track “Happy Birthday,” available as a free download on their website.
