PROFOUND MYSTERIES II

Electronic pop trailblazers Röyksopp deliver the second part to their expansive Profound Mysteries project Profound Mysteries II. Berge and Brundtland describe Profound Mysteries as the biggest undertaking of Röyksopp s career. It both encapsulates the unique sound they ve spent decades honing and expands on it. It s a bold look to the future and an homage to the artists genres and musical movements that first inspired them. It s a project they ve spent their whole lives making (the oldest ideas date back to the early days of Röyksopp literally using MIDI data first composed by the band when they were teenagers in the 1990s) and it s brand new. Profound Mysteries is characterised by it s wealth of collaborations. As always Berge and Brundtland wrote performed and engineered the majority of the record together in Norway though their collaborations span the world. On Profound Mysteries Röyksopp recorded strings and woodwind in New York Berlin and Paris while guest vocals come from both familiar artists in the Röyksopp universe (Susanne Sundfør) as well as new additions (Allison Goldfrapp Beki Mari Astrid S Karen Harding Pixx and Jamie Irrepressible). There is a unique expanded creative universe with each track accompanied by an artefact and visualiser created by Australian contemporary artist Jonathan Zawada as well as a short film made in collaboration with Scandinavian production agency Bacon.
