I've been following this Norwegian electronic duo for close to a decade now. And I think they've even been together longer than that! Their music first caught my ear when I sampled the debut album 'Melody A.M.', and I was instantly hooked. They seemed very unique back then and still do, even now. You just have to hear a bit to know what I mean.
The song I want to tell you about today is 'Happy Up Here'. It's off of the latest album 'Junior' and it really is aptly titled. The vibe on this track seems to radiate happiness throughout! I even like the cover art on the single (see below). Isn't it lovely?
The music video is great, too! Big production values and neat imagery. At first, you don't know where it's going, but then you quickly realize that it's turning into a life-size 'Space Invaders' video game... It's a total trip!
I must say, I was dubious but pleasantly surprised. That was a pretty little ditty :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool video, even for someone like me who isn't particularly into Space Invaders OR Royksopp. I even like the song! Keep up the winsome posts, my handsome husband. :)
ReplyDeleteMoonDoggie, glad you liked it!
ReplyDeleteTommy, I had the DJ play a Royksopp song at our wedding, remember? You said that you liked that one, too!
I liked it so much I came here to listen to it again. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding my button to your page! Love the caption.
Right on, MoonDoggie! 'Twas my pleasure adding your link button. I need to somehow create one, got any advice?
ReplyDeleteOooh, look at all the pretty lights! I played the vid, and Miss May climbed up onto my lap. When it ended, she started to complain "the music stopped" and "let's see it again!" So, I've gotta go now and play it again!
ReplyDeleteI saw this video about a month ago and I was very impressed with both the song and the video.
ReplyDeleteRemember that "Remind Me" Royksopp song that Geico used in one of their caveman commercials, the one where he was in an airport? I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that I watched that whole commercial every time just to hear the song, and then searched it out: here's the extended Geico version, but I like this other version too, with another very cool video. They seem to put a lot of work into their videos.
Tikimama, that's neat that Miss May has an appreciation for cool sights & sounds!
ReplyDeleteMatt, I like 'Remind Me' a lot! And yes, I remember that Geico commercial, more for the song usage than the caveman. I'd never seen that animated video for it before. So interesting the way it shows the "natural" order of things. Thanks for sharing!
We came back, too, per Miss May's request to "see the music" again. Watched 'Remind Me' animated video -- kinda mesmerizing!
ReplyDeleteTikimama, your girls are so cute! I need to spend more time around them. They'll be off to college before we know it!
