Limited 140gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve. 2004 album from the Norwegian folk-pop duo. The title of their groundbreaking album Quiet Is The New Loud was a virtual mantra for the European Music Press and the band helped define and reinstate a timeless sound After first earning notice thanks to a series of acclaimed European festival appearances during the summer of 1999, the Norway-based indie pop duo comprised of Erik Glambek Bøe and Erlend Øye quickly became the standard bearers for the turn of the century acoustic movement.

Gatefold Cover. Printed Inner Sleeve.

Recorded and mixed between September 2003 and March 2004 at Grieghallen Studios, Bergen, Norway.
Track B1 recorded in Duper Studios and completed in Grieghallen Studios.

When Norwegian duo Kings of Convenience released their appropriately titled Astralwerks debut, QUIET IS THE NEW LOUD in 2001, they were hailed as leaders of a "New Acoustic" movement. Their soft, Simon & Garfunkel-like harmonies and pristine acoustic guitar patterns set them in stark opposition to neo-garage rockers and emo punks. Three years later, their follow-up, RIOT ON AN EMPTY STREET, carries on much in the same vein.
Erlend Oye and Eirik Glambek Boe play multiple instruments, but acoustic guitar is still dominant, and the mood is one of fragile beauty, often either melancholy or bittersweet. The amazing thing is that the Kings managed the considerable task of living up to the promise of the hotly tipped QUIET IS THE NEW LOUD, releasing another batch of songs just as expertly conceived and executed. Nick Drake-esque art-folk gently rubs shoulders with Joao Gilberto-inspired bossa nova guitar rhythms, as lyrics mixing pure, heartfelt emotion and cerebral detachment float by on entrancing wisps of harmony. Oye and Boe continue to create whispers that are louder and more arresting than any scream.
