Erlend Øye, one half of Kings of Convenience, one quarter of the Whitest Boy Alive, and collaborator with Royksopp is primed to release a new album sometime next year. Although the Norwegian has yet to announce a release date, this is joyous news for fans of the folkateer. The album, La Prima Estate will be sung entirely in Italian — adding to the charm of his latest project. Enjoy a preview of the first single off the album below.
Bonus: A video of one of my early favorites from KOC. This melancholic track makes me utterly, supremely and absurdly happy.
How happy to I feel now! Can’t stop smiling, thinking of sunny days yet its pouring with rain in Yorkshire. Loves Anna xx
It does induce that sort of mood, doesn’t it?! Glad to add a little sunshine to your rainy day 🙂
