Royksopp are promising harder beats with the forthcoming album, although the melodic element is as present and important as ever it was on their 2002 debut album Melody A.M.
"This is definitely a sound which for us is more looking towards the future, than being as reminiscent of the past as our last album was," Torbjorn Brundtland told Billboard. "Even though the last one was called 'Melody A.M.' this one is even more about melody. For those who want the atmospheric pieces that were on our last one, they'll probably have to wait for the third album."
Brundtland resisted naming anyone, but revealed that there will be "some boys and some girls on the album", and will feature more vocal tracks than on the previous disc. "We always feel we have to move on and venture into things we really haven't done before,” added Brundtland.
For inspiration the boys are immersing themselves with "mostly classical music and old Brian Eno."
But it’s up to you to decide whether the new direction works for Royksopp, for as Brundtland modestly put it, “It's up to the people. I mean, some people never liked us anyway."
The fellas have also been busy producing, working their magic on several tracks from Annie's "Anniemal" (679 Recordings). Lucky her. They have also toyed with a new Beck song, but the name of the track and release date have not been revealed.
