We just offered you a jam-packed Röyksopp Progress Report and before that the Norwegian duo ushered in their 10th birthday with an appropriately titled “Happy Birthday” song. Here they give us another one with happy in the title, “Happy Up Here.” It’s the first single from the forthcoming Junior. As mentioned, the collection will include guest spots by Lykki Li, Robyn, Anneli Drecker, and the Knife’s Karin Dreijer. There are vocals on this one, but it’s apparently Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland holding court.


“Happy Up Here” is out as a single on 3/9 via Astralwerks. Junior is out 3/24, also via Astralwerks.

  1. Sounds just a tad too much like “Eple,” but I’m willing to forgive them ’cause I’m just happy they’ve abandoned the glossy sound that was prominent on “The Understanding.”

    Yeah it sounds a LOT like eple. I guess they are trying to recreate that former glory. STupid norweigans!

    Fuck off! Even if it sounds a lot like “Eple” is it a mastepeace. If it’s something norwegians can make is it electronic music.
