After the Norwegian duo of Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland celebrated their 10th happy birthday, they stopped by for a Progress Report, then reminded everyone that they’re “Happy Up Here” (aka in Norway aka a rich country). Now there’s a happy little video for the latter, the first single from Röyksopp’s forthcoming third studio full-length Junior. In it we watch two big-eyed cartoon grownup children drive their red convertible through the desert then figure out a way to achieve liftoff. The guy loses his hat, but otherwise it’s all good.
UPDATE: This is not the proper video. D’oh. We’ll post the real (much cooler) one shortly.
“Happy Up Here” is out as a single on 3/9 via Astralwerks. Junior is out 3/24, also via Astralwerks.

This song sounds like a television commercial. Almost a like a reaction to all of the licensing deals from past records… I dunno … almost feels like they wrote this with the intention licesning this out for the new Blackberry phone or some other tech product.
This song sounds like a Röyksopp song.
What all these licensing deals you speak of?
Fun little video. I’m excited for the full length. It’s been too long.
:DDDDDD
Yay for posting more Royksopp! This video’s cute and all… but its not the official video. The real video is some crazy -ass *mindblowingly amazing* space invaders radness. You definitely need to post that one and let the gushing EPIC! comments ensue…
Just check YouTube… the official vid was up for just a hot minute yesterday, then EMI apparently took it down. Boooooo fest. Anyways, keep an eye out for space invaders, its seriously the coolest fucking video since…. What Else is There. =D

MF McNutt ,
check out wikipedia for the whole list of advertisments and other licensing deals. But off the top of my head …Gieco, T-mobile, and the music used for the Apple OS system PANTHER…
Don’t get me wrong. I love this group.
It’s probably my ears just being a little tired from this sound due to saturation and this tune doesn’t stray from the formula at all. This could have come out in 2002 IMHO
I did check out wikipedia before I commented. A song to Geico and and a song to Apple are the only major U.S. licensed songs. Two songs.
I doubt you remember that T-mobile ad as it was only shown in the UK.
How many people remember that Röyksopp song that appeared in an episode of a Danish consumer program “Rabatten”?
Röyksopp has licensed very few songs in the course of their career.
Nickelback > Royksopp
Royksopp > Your Face.
