Röyksopp have announced a new album, True Electric. Following the Norwegian duo’s recent ambient record Nebulous Nights – An Ambient Excursion Into Profound Mysteries, the new LP comes out on April 11. Fever Ray and Trentemøller feature on the dizzying ‘What Else Is There? (True Electric)’, a new version of a track that first appeared on Röyksopp’s 2005 effort The Understanding. Its accompanying video, directed by longtime collaborator Stian Andersen, was shot on location at the band’s 2023 show in Athens, Greece. Check it out below.
Nearly all of True Electric‘s tracks are studio versions of the music from Röyksopp’s True Electric tour, including updates of the Robyn collaborations ‘The Girl and the Robot’ and ‘Monument’. “True Electric consists of recordings and renditions, meant to capture the essence of our live shows bearing the same name,” Svein Berge and Torbjørn Bruntland explained in a press release. “The idea was to put an emphasis on the clubbier aspects of our music, as well as returning to our roots within the realms of electronic music.”
