Norway’s acoustic royalty return to their thrones. Like Simon & Garfunkel - to whom they’re often compared - Erlend and Eirik are school friends but a strange pair. After launching the New Acoustic Movement with their 2001 debut album, Quiet Is The New Loud, and paving the way for homeboys Royksopp, lanky Erlend travelled Europe and made an album with electronic pioneers. Meanwhile, Eirik studied among the fjords. Reunited, their sometimes twee cardigan anthems swing with a newfound sophistication, and the telling I’d Rather Dance With You is oddball pop at its most majestic. Kings Of Convenience – Riot On An Empty Street, released 21 June 04 on Source.
