Discovering Erlend Øye
February 14th, 2010
Some of you may already be familiar with Erlend Oye, Norwegian electro-pop writer and singer. He was part of Royksopp, and along with Eirik Glambek Bøe make up the acoustic indie band Kings of Convenience (featured on two museradio.fm playlists This City Never Sleeps and Funk Como Le Gusta). He also produced a remix album for the DJ Kicks series in 2004.
Im just listening to the album Dreams from his more recent project, The Whitest Boy Alive. More uptempo and rocky than Kings of Convenience, but with equally infectious melodies and his gentle voice crooning about love… The track Im listening to now is Fireworks. You can watch a great live version of it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju7PJYuNG3o
