 to access audio and video on collective you need real player.Together in electro-acoustic dreams. Still one half of Kings of Convenience but perhaps best known for his Royksopp links, Norway’s Erlend Øye continues to straddle the electronic/acoustic fence with no obvious signs of discomfort. This latest collaboration, with Berlin DJ Marcin Oez, started off as a dance project but eventually mutated into emotive rock; a sort of beefier, less folky KoC. The songwriting still oozes quality, although Oez’s basslines are often so Cure-like that Øye's gentle vocals sound almost out of place. He’s anything but a screamer. The Whitest Boy Alive - Dreams, released 11 September 06 on Bubbles.
