Kings of Convenience, Barbican, London

Well, he didn't dance. Much. One thing united the chisel-jawed Norwegians, the nu-geeks, the actual geeks, the Hoxton trendies, the Mexicans, the Scots, the Italians and the Brazilians here to sample the first new songs in five years from this cherished Norwegian pop-folk duo: their marginal trepidation that one of its members, Erlend Oye, would do ...

Hallelujah, here's a complete Burke

The biggest TV audience of 2008 tuned in to watch Alexandra Burke win The X Factor, but, as plenty of others have found to their cost, winning a talent contest is certainly no guarantee of success.

Too Close To Your Boundaries

September 30th, 2009 9:22am Kings of Convenience "Mrs. Cold" There is a generosity in the very sound of Erlend Oye's voice, but it's understated and rather matter-of-fact so he always comes off as a sweet, romantic diplomat.

New Kings Of Convenience Video - "Mrs. Cold"

Erlend Oye and Eirik Glambek Boe stuck to the letter of the title in " Boat Behind ." Expanding things in the F Nemeta-directed clip for the oddly Jack Johnson-esque Declaration Of Dependence track "Mrs. Cold," the duo give us a number of potential "Mrs. Cold"'s. To set the stage: The E's are busy strumming their guitars by their lonesome and ...

I caught most of Human Life 's set which was very upbeat and energetic, but the vocals reminded me of radio "club hits" a bit too much.

Kings Of Convenience @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC

Kings Of Convenience summon silence. Bowery Ballroom was thoroughly hushed for KoC's first NYC show in ages last night, a palpable silence perfect for hearing every note of the Norwegian duo's forthcoming Declaration Of Dependence LP tunes, and even more so for being distracted by each camera's click no matter where in the room it originated.

Woven Bones, Intelligence, Desolation Wilderness, Kings of...

Earlier this week we had two nights with Sondre Lerche and tonight is more Norwegian jazz pop when Kings of Convenience play a sold-out Bowery Ballroom, their only U.S. show , that I'm guessing they're playing while in NYC doing press for their new album, Declaration of Dependence , which is out next month.
