Röyksopp: "It can be found in the Norwegian dictionary and has multiple meanings. One of them is a little fungus, which in English is called "puffball" – a little fungus that when you step on it bursts into a cloud of spores. And also, there is the meaning of the mushroom cloud that appears after the explosion of a nuclear bomb. The most important thing is that it’s a word that is not really common in Norwegian language, and we just thought it would be perfect for a band name because it’s so very much out of place.", Röyksopp Interview in Barcode.
Torbjörn Brundtland and Svein Berge are the components of Röyksopp, an electronic funkster band from Norway.
They became famous in 2001 with their first album Melody A.M. which 1.000.000 copies were sold worldwide, 500.000 of them in UK. Svein was only 17 years old, Torbjörn was 18.
In July 2005 was released the album "The Understanding" which contains the best song (in my opinion) of Röyksopp, What else is there. Fronted by Karin Dreijer from the Knife, it evokes an eerie Kate Bush meets Björk coupling, a gradual epic sweep redolent of John Carpenter giving way to a high octane rush.
In resume, a piece of art.
Enjoy it ;)
The model of the video is Marianne Schröder (quite beautiful) and the girl that eats the apple is Karin Dreijer herself.
Sure Karin Dreijer and The Knife will have a post in this blog soon ;).
Keep in touch.
