ROBYN: 
RÖYKSOPP:
Röyksopp andRobyn announce the release of the Do It Again mini album,
which will be released on Cherrytree Records/Interscope May 26th, 2014.
“Do It Again” is the first single and will be available April 28th
digitally via digital download stores and streaming via subscription
services. The single
serves as an introduction to a new Röyksopp album to be released later this
year.
The highly
anticipated “Do It Again” tour with Röyksopp and Robyn kicks off this summer in
Spain and hits the US.
Röyksopp: This 5 track mini-album is the
accumulation and embodiment of the synergy between Robyn and ourselves. We've
intended this to be a diverse yet cohesive and thought through musical venture;
it's meant to be an expression where pop & art reign side by side.
Röyksopp and Robyn were inspired by each other’s
company and compelled to create something they had never done before, building
on the brief moments when they had come together in the past. Having worked
together on “The Girl and the Robot”, which appeared on Röyksopp’s Junior album
in 2009 and “None Of Dem” on Robyn’s Body Talk Pt. 1 in 2010,
the Do It Again mini album sees the two artists doing just
that.
Röyksopp: “This doesn't sound like Röyksopp
featuring Robyn or Robyn produced by Röyksopp, it's just something else
entirely”, “The word 'collaboration' has never before been more justified in
the world of music!”
“Svein and Torbjörn and I started working on new
music in the beginning of 2013, I´ve been going back and forth to Bergen to
record and write with the boys up until recently. Collaborating with S & T
is something I enjoy very much. In the beginning we just knew we wanted to do
something together and then it started to feel more like a band thing than
songs for a Röyksopp or Robyn album so we´re releasing this music together as a
band you could say” says Robyn.
The Do It Again mini album
represents the perfect coming together of three of the most original musical minds
in the world.
“Do It Again” is the first single taken from the
mini album and is an “accidental pop song” written after a night out together
in Bergen. The effervescent, effortlessly uplifting electro-pop tune started
out as a rave-inspired throwback.
Elsewhere, the Do It Again mini
album covers big thumping house with the club-ready “Sayit”, which features a
near duet between Robyn and what sounds like an aroused robot. On the other end
of the spectrum there is the closing “Inside The Idle Hour Club”, which
utilizes Robyn's vocal discreetly to create a pensive, slowly evolving
soundscape that's worth diving into headlong.
Do It Again is compelling not just for its personality, but also because it is
simply not what you expect.
