Erlend Øye

Let's just talk about this incredible man.

He's cranking out two new albums this year! One for his band The Whitest Boy Alive (street date 3/02/09). And one for Kings of Convenience!

YESSS! Kings of Convenience did not die five years ago! Sadly, information on the new KoC is sketch at best. All I've heard is that if Øye has his way the album will be called 'Quiet IS the New Loud.' Not to be confused with 'Quiet Is the New Loud,' an earlier album from the band. I also hear that it's very near completion with final work being done in the studio.

Also, he's putting his DJing on hiatus stating "I stopped working with electronic music as I realized it's much more fun to play live with KoC and WBA."

Speaking of that new Whitest Boy Alive album... (it's delicious)

Definitely sounds like he hasn't lost his touch.
