Kings Of Convenience - Riot On An Empty Street - Vinyl Record 2LP
Norwegian duo Eirik Glambek Bøe and Erlend Øye return with Riot on an Empty Street, the second Kings of Convenience album and a masterclass in quiet confidence. Originally released in 2004 and reissued on [PIAS] Recordings, these twelve songs pair hushed acoustic guitars with layered harmonies that land somewhere between bossa nova, folk, and indie pop.
"Misread" and "I'd Rather Dance with You" became instant fan favorites, balancing breezy melodies with lyrics that cut deeper than they first let on. Two collaborations with Feist, "Know-How" and "The Build-Up," add a new dimension, her voice weaving seamlessly into the duo's warm interplay. Deeper cuts like the patient "Stay Out of Trouble" and the sun-soaked "Gold in the Air of Summer" reward repeat listens. The album charted across Europe, reaching #2 in Norway and earning Silver certification in the UK.
A timeless record for fans of Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, and Simon & Garfunkel. Add it to your rotation.
