Kings of Convenience
Quiet is the new loud
Quiet is the new loud – Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe, better known as Kings of Convenience, already used the title of their first album from 2001 to clarify what is most important to them: quietness. The press was enthused by the idiosyncratic acoustic sound of the record, which seemed to have fallen out of time. They even invented a new genre for the two Norwegians: from then on, everything calm and soft that could not be filed away under another genre was called »new acoustic movement«.
The two Kings of Convenience members have certainly chosen a suitable band name: the duo has released only three studio albums and one additional remix album since formation, the most recent being Declaration of Dependence in 2009. However, the wait is finally over – the Kings of Convenience are back! A serene and captivating concert in Hamburg awaits guests.
