RELEASE: 9/5-2025: ACCLAIMED NORWEGIAN DUO BRING THEIR TRUE ELECTRIC LIVE SHOW TO THE TRIPLE LP FORMAT
Following the surprise December 2024 release of Röyksopp’s ambient album Nebulous Nights (An Ambient Excursion into Profound Mysteries), the acclaimed electronic duo of Svein Berge and Torbjørn Bruntland begin 2025 with details of a new album, True Electric.
Svein and Torbjørn introduce the True Electric album project with What Else Is There? (ft. Fever Ray) [True Electric], a pulsating, intense new version of the classic Röyksopp track from their 2005 album, The Understanding. A high-energy visualiser edit for the single, directed by regular Röyksopp collaborator Stian Andersen, was recorded on location at the band’s 2023 True Electric show in Athens featuring the live show in full kinetic flow.
True Electric gathers together 19 studio versions of the music from Röyksopp’s True Electric tour in 2023, featuring previously unreleased track The “R” as well as newly-reworked versions of originals and remixes taken from their acclaimed catalogue. These include the celebrated Robyn collaboration Do It Again featuring Robyn (from the 2014 Röyksopp & Robyn EP Do It Again ) and Running To The Sea featuring Susanne Sundfør (from the 2014 Röyksopp album The Inevitable End) as well as several tracks from their critically acclaimed Profound Mysteries creative universe that resulted in three albums released across 2022.
Speaking on the album, Svein and Torbjørn explain:
“«True Electric» consists of recordings and renditions, meant to capture the essence of our live shows bearing the same name.
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.”
