↓ The Drug
Take 3 random young hipsters (don’t have to be all girls) and let them face the horrors of a war. Result? A rather meaningless but always impressive video that may have no message but looks very cool…
After their “adventures in barbieland” teaser Royksopp just released today the video of their first single “The Drug” which we already had the opportunity to listen to via Soundcloud… (they might pull down the video from Youtube so here’s the Pitchfork link just in case).
A big minimalistic path not many people were expecting from the electr-pop duo and which that may orientate us on what Senior will sound like (their forthcoming instrumental album released September 13th).
Btw, the whole album will be streaming via Soundcloud from September 6th. Nice one Royksopp, nice one
. Here’s a second track (The Fear) also taken from Senior… like or not like?
