Kings of Convenience Share Fever

Leave a comment

Twenty year old Nathan was very much still in an emo/pop punk lifestyle when he encountered Kings of Convenience; it was one of those bands that kind of had me turning a little softer in my tastes, taking up some of the other pop styles in the indie sphere and really getting lost. So, here they are with their first album in a decade, and not a lot has seemed to change…though admittedly, this one does have a more “adult” vibe to its craft. Their music has always been about the vocals and the melodies they share together, not to mention the intricate crossing of guitar lines. I’m still a big fan. Peace or Love is out June 18th.

Kings of Convenience Return with Peace or Love

I’m not going to lie; I haven’t thought about Kings of Convenience in some time; they’ve not released new music in almost 12 years…though I’ll cop to checking in on Erlend from time to time. They return today with a new single and an announcement of Peace or Love, their brand new album, and honestly, not much seems to have changed between Eirik and Erlend. They’re still using incredible acoustic guitar play to mold these wonderful melodies, then intertwining their voices majestically, all of it aided by some feathery string arrangements to build in some texture. Honestly, this gives me the feels and takes me back to the early 00s, and I don’t mind that one bit. Their new LP is out June 18th.
