New Röyksopp (Feat. Robyn) - "The Girl And The Robot"
When talking about Röyksopp's forthcoming Junior, we've mentioned that the longstanding Norwegian duo's post-birthday collection includes guest vocal spots from the Scandinavian all-star team of Lykki Li, Anneli Drecker, Karin Dreijer, and Robyn. The collection's lead track "Happy Up Here" found Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland by their relative lonesome, but the dark enough, dance-floor infectious second single "The Girl And The Robot" makes good on at least one of the names in the above list. Who's that girl:
Junior is out 3/24 via Astralwerks.

I am totally stoked about this upcoming release! Great news.
Score = 1
This track is truly amazing!
Definitely one of my most loved tracks of 2009
Score = 3
I have previewed the album front to back. It does sound like a mix of melody am and the understanding. But I'd say there is more of the latter than the former.
Score = 0
Stereogum:
You suck at posting the new Telekinesis stuff. I thought you liked them. And today we get Royksopp! But no Telekinesis? I don't understand you guys sometimes. This isn't terrible, but seriously, you shafted Telekinesis.
Now I have to pick up the pieces:
NEW! Telekinesis - Tokyo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FD8XhRfn6Rg
Stream the new album at http://www.mergerecords.com. It's awesome!
Score = -5
There's a new Telekinesis video out you guys!
Score = 4
See, there you go!
Score = 1
The Royksopp album is *amaaaaaaaazing*
I don't really see it as falling between Melody AM and The Understanding... it seems to follow the expected trajectory laid out by the first two, and is even more extroverted, energetic, and electro than The Understanding... and it friggin rocks! I think we can expect more downtempo stuff to return on Senior.
Will the gum be doing a Premature Evaluation on this? Would love to know what you guys think!
Score = 1
this is gorgeous

Call me crazy, but I see this song as a mix of prime New Order and Kate Bush singing Madonna's "Hung Up." Am I on to something or what?
Score = -1
You my friend, couldn't have made a more precise diagnosis :) That's EXACTLY what it is!
