Röyksopp's First TV Appearance in Seven Years Involves Robyn And "The Girl And The Robot"

It seems the Norwegian duo have been pretty video camera shy since their support tour of Melody A.M., so it makes sense that they broke their live TV abstinence on the track that Robyn guests on. She has a way of holding attention. (Lykke Li would have been a good choice too.) Röyksopp brought Junior single "The Girl And The Robot" to Senkveld, Robyn played the girl, they played the robot. Makes sense.

Robyn joined them at Royal Festival Hall, too. Junior is out via Astralwerks.

Ah, gotta love that little HQ button.

Are you seriously shitting on a band for successfully recreating their studio sound in a live setting?

Röyksopp is awesome! Going to see them in August!

Röyksopp is the norwegian word for the mushroom "puffball"
Röyk = smoke
Sopp = mushroom
