Royksopp - Running To The Sea (Wall Of Sound/Cooking Vinyl)
Royksopp - Running To The Sea |
Release Date: 16th December 2013
So those Royksopp boys are back
with a new single and it's something of a lively number. Featuring the vocals
of Susanne Sundfor, 'Running To The Sea' is an eery, almost trance like tune fuelled
by sparse piano and a fast paced beat that sounds like the determined
pitter-patter of an early morning jogger. This song promises a lot and
certainly delivers if you're in to that Above & Beyond with Ellie Goulding on
vocals writing a song for the next Girl With The Dragon Tattoo soundtrack kind
of thing. For me, I feel like there's a little bit more to come from these guys
but, hey, they've given us a B-side too so stop your moaning! 'Something In My
Heart' features the vocal talents of the improbably named Jamie Irrepressible
(weakest Viking name ever?) and is a more thoughtful tune with undulating
synths mixed with a laid back, almost R&B beats. There's no doubting that
these are both beautiful pieces of music which the world is a better place for
experiencing but neither of these tunes quite manage to reach the uplifting
climaxes I was hoping for.
