Dreams

Unrest More than just Erlend Oye's temporary departure from Kings of Convenience, Unrest is an amalgam of heartfelt lyrics from the wrong side of love's tracks, with strains of bitterness present but never overwhelming. In true minstrel fashion, Norway's troubadour invites 10 different ...	Riot on an Empty Street Their second album, 'Riot On An Empty Street' picks up where 'Quiet Is The New Loud' left off. Recorded over the last six months in Bergen, with periodic visits from ex-patriot Erlend - Riot contains more complex arrangements tWith You', 'Know How,' 'Love Is No Big Truth' or firs...	Quiet Is the New Loud Although Kings of Convenience are keen to play down any blatantly self-evident similarities to Nick Drake, Simon and Garfunkel, and Belle and Sebastian, the winsome and placidity-favoring Norwegian duo of Erlend Oye and Eirik Glambek Boe have probably already got the subway buske...	The Reminder Feist is the solo project of Canada's Leslie Feist, a prolific artist who has also played in one capacity or another with Broken Social Scene, Kings of Convenience and half a dozen other bands. The Reminder, her third release, comes from the same well of quiet, appealing songwrit...	DJ-Kicks The job title of DJ may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Erlend Øye. The singer, songwriter and indie pop star behind Kings Of Convenience has only owned a set of turntables for a few months, but despite all this, Erlend Øye the DJ is anything but a jo...
In Rainbows Pink Bowl 6 1/8"	Third Portishead's Third has been a long time coming, the result of a lengthy creative torpor following 1997's dark, distinctly underrated album Portishead. Importantly, though, they've shaken it. While the core trio of Beth Gibbons, Geoff Barrow, and Adrian Utley remains, this is quit...	Viva La Vida To say there has been a lot of anticipation for Coldplay's fourth album, Viva La Vida, is an understatement. Having enlisted legendary leftfield producer Brian Eno, borrowed their album title from a painting by renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and made tantalising remarks abou...	Wincing the Night Away Indie-rock's hardest-working slackers finally release their third album, on which they've made the clear transition from bedroom-pop to stadium-rock without losing everything that makes them great. Those soaring vocals that sound like the unholiest collision of the Cure and Simon...	Vampire Weekend It would take a lot for Vampire Weekend's debut to rise above the stench of privileged hype that surrounds it. A bunch of kids who formed the band in their Columbia dorm room borrow wholesale from Afrobeat and angular '80s stuff, and they quickly become an online buzz band before...

Awesome!
One of the best new records i've purchased in years. Such a good album, pity it's out of print. Get the CD and note that it sounds about ten times better on LP. Awesome amazing stuff!

Breath of fresh air
I stumbled across this album on itunes and loved it. It's upbeat and the vocals are great. The song "Dreams" is by far my favorite. Thank God for indie music!

Dreams Review
Stripped back, uncomplicated, and yet very fresh. I love this album for it's simplicity, it's grooves, and foppish vocals. It's Hot Chip without the fuss.

Love it!
I discovered them thru a friend. From what I understand they started as an elctronic dance project in 2003. A Berlin based band, the singer/guitarest is also a member of the band Kings of Convenience. Which is also a great band. Absolutely love this album, very indie, Indie pop, every song is great! Some of my favorite tracks are Figures, The Burning, Fireworks and Golden Cage. I can listen to this over and over.

A Brilliant MUST HAVE!
I'm not going to mince my words here...this album is simply fantastic and of a quality I haven't encountered in quite some time. The music is authentic, calming, and resonant. Erland Oye can do no wrong, it appears. BUY IT!
