I have to say this Norwegian duo has always managed to make good music from the hypnotic "You Remind Me," and other sexy lush tracks, but I have to say Junior (Astralwerks) is their most commercial record yet. By adding a few female vocalists like Anneli Drecker of Bel Canto, Karin Dreijer Andersson, Lykke Li, and Robyn on the amazing "The Girl and the Robot," they balance pop melodies with straight electronica and ambient dance without compromising their sound. Only enhancing it to greater heights. I will go on the record to say this has to be Royksopp's finest record, and are definitely ready for their crossover success. Other standout tracks include "You Don't Have a Clue," "True to Life" both with Anneli Drecker on vocals, and the awesome opening track "Happy up Here."
Junior is in stores now!
