The two albums (’Junior’ and ‘Senior’) have a kinship, in that they represent Röyksopp’s two very different artistic expressions. ‘Junior’ – with emphasis on vocals, accessible melodies and harmonies, has the energy, the inquisitive temper and confident “hey-ho, let’s go!”-attitude of youth, whereas ‘Senior’ is the introverted, dwelling and sometimes graceful counterpart – brimfull with dark secrets and distorted memories, insisting “I’m old, I’ve got experince…”. Senior’ is furthermore an album about age, horses and being subdued – with devils breathing down your neck.
On that note I present Röyksopp's Adventures in Barbieland - A short film/music video in anticipation of their album launch. Its basically 10 minutes of bizarre Norwegian film making, but expertly done none the less, and with a catchy electronic sound.

Heres their first release Eple, just because I love the video and song so much.
They certainly do know how to create a catchy tune.
