Royksopp and Robyn Make Beautiful Music Together

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

But srsly, non? Yes i know it’s already been on umpteenth billion blogs but whatevs, me like. Robyn’s career totally needs to segue into permanent vocal muse for a rotating cabal of tasteful semi-electro bands; this time around, Royksopp, naturally. There seems to be a symbiotic relationship that thrives in that circumstance. She also should be involved in more car commercial songs. And forward-thinking electronics ads. That girl can do no wrong. And still so down to earth. Love the daily show segment from a few months back where she was interviewed.

Also posting the Chateau Marmont remix as it’s my fave of the lot. And there is a lot, of that lot, if you know what i mean. The single will be released next month, so check the Norwegian duo’s myspace for more deets.

More Than Just A Hotel to Trash

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Chateau Marmont are dudes out of (where else) Paris who have appeared on quite a few different singles of late, on the remix side of things, most notably for the Midnight Juggs, Ladyhawke, and Poney Poney. Of late however more original work has been cropping up and is pretty solid, if not life transforming, digital rock. In some bizarro way, Diane reminds me of a sped up Kraftwerk — nothing wrong with that. Perfect when  you feeling like busting out the “i’m a robot” dance.

Their Solar Apex EP is out on uber-label Institubes, so those who wanna tip the scales their way rather than ‘rival’ Kitsune, know what to click on.
