NEW MUSIC: RÖYKSOPP | BREATHE (FEATURING ASTRID S)

The last traditional album Norwegian electronic duo Röyksopp released was 2014’s "The Inevitable End," which they called their “goodbye to the traditional album format.” Now, the duo is preparing to release "Profound Mysteries," a 10-song collection that, per a press release, is “an expanded creative universe and a prodigious conceptual project.” We’ve already shared four songs that will appear on "Profound Mysteries." “This Time, This Place” featuring Beki Mari, “(Nothing But) Ashes…,” “The Ladder,” and Alison Goldfrapp collab “Impossible.” Now, Röyksopp has shared another track. “Breathe,” which Röyksopp teamed up with Norwegian singer-songwriter Astrid S. The duo have also shared a short “Breathe” film titled "I Hate My Shelf," directed by Swedish filmmaker Andreas Nilsson, who previously worked on short films for the band’s albums "Junior" (2009) and "Senior" (2010) and the music video for “This Must Be It.” “I have always wanted to collaborate with Röyksopp; they have been and continue to be a huge inspiration for me,” Astrid S says. “I’m really excited for the music to finally come out!” Röyksopp is known for his work with female vocalists. They’ve teamed with Karin Dreijer of The Knife, and Fever Ray on four tracks, including “What Else Is There?” and “This Must Be It.” Röyksopp has also worked extensively with Swedish singer Robyn, first on a track called “The Girl and the Robot” and later on a collaborative EP called Do It Again to coincide with their joint tour.
