ROYKSOPP

A beautiful cross between trip hop dance and analogue video game music, Royksopp put on a show second to none. They play songs from the break out Melody AM up to the recent release Junior that had every booty in the house shaking. Anneli Drecker stepped in with backing vocals- a nice treat, best known for her vocals with the dream pop band Bel Canto and a fitting substitute for Karin Dreijer Andersson.

They played an absolute favorite and uber crowd pleaser- Eple. The entire show took the audience on a musical trip, shifting from booming beats to soft melodies with ease, as though we were on a carnival ride, Royksopp at the controls. They had moments in costume but left most of the ambiance of the show to Anneli with her 80's suit and arty masks. Ending the set on their second encore with a poppy impish cover of Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush) followed by a hard hitting Fat Burner, the boys gave a night of smiling musical satisfaction.
