Da Erlend Øye for to år siden splittede med sin funkede indiegruppe The Whitest Boy Alive, søgte han ad helt nye reggae-tilgroede græsgange i eget selskab på solopladen ‘Legao’. Nu er Øye dog vendt tilbage til velkendte rammer, idet han atter er forenet med sin med-nordmand Eirik Glambek Bøe i gruppen Kings of Convenience.
Duoen rystede tre gennem 00’erne behagelige skiver af sig, og nu er de ved at ruste op til album nummer fire – efter syv år uden nyt materiale. Men inden albummet sættes i verden, spiller de behagesyge nordmænd en smagsprøve på den nye lyd i både Lille Vega og Trains intime rammer til efteråret, nærmere betegnet den 17. og 19. oktober.
Turnéen består udelukkende af nye sange, hvilket duoen understreger med følgende hilsen:
»Dear fans, after 7 dry years we are finally in the process of making a new album. The raw material is ready, but in order to fully understand the potential of each song, an audience is needed. The Unrecorded Record is a rare chance to participate in our creative process.
The set list of this tour will consist of ONLY NEW SONGS. There might be mistakes, there might be false starts. That is why we invite only those of you with open ears and open mind to purchase tickets to these shows. No recordings allowed, don’t spoil the surprise! The venues are all on the smaller side, to guarantee the necessary intimacy. In the city at the end of each tour, we will enter a studio, hoping to capture what has hopefully crystallized during the shows. Dear fans, after 7 dry years we are finally in the process of making a new album. The raw material is ready, but in order to fully understand the potential of each song, an audience is needed. The Unrecorded Record is a rare chance to participate in our creative process«.
