Electronica band Røyksopp will tour the U.S. with concerts in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles from July 13 to July 17.
Electronica band Røyksopp, with Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge, returns to the US with a brand new album. After the success of their debut album, Melody A.M., Røyksopp could have easily rested on their laurels, be content to shine their halos. Their first album sold 1,000,000 copies worldwide, 500,000 of them in the UK alone; they toured with Basement Jaxx and Moby, not to mention headline tours of their own, and won them a MTV Best Video Award. Their second album, The Understanding, to be released in the US on July 12, is resolutely different to their first, but reassuringly the same in excellence.
