But somehow, we've chosen a path where we're a bit more particular in our sound sources.\" \u003cbr/\u003eEMI/Wall of Sound \u003cbr/\u003e10. Music Video Clip 'Happy Up Here' \u003cbr/\u003eIt's been three years since we've heard a new collection of sounds from electronic dance duo Royksopp. \u003cbr/\u003eAP Entertainment met up with Torbjorn Brundtland in London to find out about their latest record 'Junior'. \u003cbr/\u003eTheir last album  'Royksopp's Night Out'  was released as live in 2006. The studio album 'The Understanding' was released a year earlier.  \u003cbr/\u003eTorbjorn says he and band mate Svein Berge are a little nervous about releasing 'Junior' after a long lull, but adds that if you focus too much on career it makes life disharmonic. \"Ever since we released 'Melody AM' and on to the release of 'The Understanding' it was more hectic than we thought our music doings would ever be, \" he says. \"So we've taken some time to hand out with friends and to think and laugh and cry and all these things that make up life.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe duo have written, performed, arranged, mixed and produced all 11 tracks on the record which is billed on their website as an album that sheds 'some light in an otherwise bleak reality'. \u003cbr/\u003eRoyksopp's familiar electro-pop sound dominates the record, but Torbjorn says this, like the previous two studio discs is not meant to be a floor filler. \"It's more music that we feel can work on multiple levels. It's an invitation to party, but it's also an invitation to use us as a transport system to take you somewhere else,\" he says.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe first single from the album, Happy Up Here is due for release on 16th March. \u003cbr/\u003eThe track is set to a video featuring old school space invaders and as Torbjorn explains was created around an image of a man about to take a dive at a party. \"He's standing on a diving board smiling to all his friends and there's a pool, he's jumping and just as he's going to do the cannonball and hit the water, fireworks go off in the background, he explains. \"That's quite a maximalistic image, I think that's an image that we tried to make music to.\" \u003cbr/\u003eRoyksopp sold more than one million copies of their 2001 debut \"Melody AM\" and won an MTV Europe Award for Best Video (for \"Remind Me\"). For Torbjorn, the success of the group is down to their insistence on keeping out of the mainstream. \"I think if you go into, you know, electronic dance music you'll find that whenever we see a new plug in, you know, you test it out and there's some special sound on it, it's like 'ok, in two weeks there's going to be a floor filler using that sound, which is a good thing, it's fun you know, that's what it is. But somehow, we've chosen a path where we're a bit more particular in our sound sources,\" he says.  \u003cbr/\u003eTorbjorn and Svein were schoolmates in their hometown of Troms in Norway. According to Torbjorn, ever since they were kids the duo have felt like they are old people trapped in younger people's bodies, but at the same time they feel like the eternal child, Peter Pan. \u003cbr/\u003e'Junior' released on 23rd March reflects their more playful side. 'Senior', due out in the autumn will represent a more introvert side of the electro duo - an album that according to Torbjorn will that will ask the listener to take his/her time.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
