On December 16 2013 chart-topping electro duo Röyksopp will release Running To The Sea, their first new single since 2011, which is now set for worldwide release following its #1 chart success in their native Norway.
Running To The Sea features vocals by the platinum-selling Norwegian artist Susanne Sundfør. The equally elegant singing on b-side Something In My Heart is provided by Jamie of cult orchestral pop ensemble The Irrepressibles.
The duo explain:
“Running To The Sea and Something In My Heart are in essence both expressions of compulsion and its strong, often uncontrollable, persisting pull. Dependence is a returning theme in our music."
Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland AKA Brit and Grammy award nominees Röyksopp have produced four hit albums, which have reached the top of the charts in several countries, including four consecutive number-ones in Norway. The band have sold over two million records.
Last year Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland AKA Brit and Grammy award nominees Röyksopp released their edition of the acclaimed ‘Late Night Tales’ compilation series, which showcased their diverse influences with tracks from Tuxedomoon, Vangelis, John Martyn, This Mortal Coil and PopolVuh, not to mention a spoken word piece by Benedict Cumberbatch of ‘Dr Who’ and Hollywood movie fame.
Running To The Sea will be released on Royksopp's label Dog Triumph, via Wall of Sound and Cooking Vinyl in the UK.
