ROYKSHOPP, THE NEW RELEASE IS “SENIOR”

Royksopp have announced the release date and tracklisting for their new album.

Entitled ‘Senior’ and released on September 13, the instrumental LP is the follow-up and counterpart to their 2009 studio effort ‘Junior’.

“The two albums (‘Junior’ and ‘Senior’) have a kinship, in that they represent ‘s two very different artistic expressions,” the group said in a statement. “‘Junior’ – with 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 – brimful with dark secrets and distorted memories, insisting ‘I’m old, I’ve got experience…’.

They added: “‘Senior’ is furthermore an album about age, horses and being subdued – with devils breathing down your neck.”

The tracklisting for ‘Senior’ is:

‘…And The Forest Began To Sing’

‘Tricky Two’

‘The Alcoholic’

‘Senior Living’

‘The Drug’

‘Forsaken Cowboy’

‘The Fear’

‘Coming Home’

‘A Long, Long Way’
