Kings of Convenience - Riot on an Empty Street
Kings of Convenience are a norweigian duo that sound and feel very much like Simon & Garfunkel - two men singing with clear and beautiful voices over acoustic guitars and other instruments. Tunes are often filled with sense of melancholy and sense of remembrance. Compositions are simplistic and minimalistic, but interesting and do not follow the most trodden paths of modern pop music. It is music that I very much like to listen on the background if I’m having sort of a stressful day. This music instantly manages to make me relax and realize that things are not as bad as they seem.
Riot on an Empty Street is an excellent album. It flows like a river, feels coherent and structurally stable and doesn’t contain bad tunes. It’s like a mellow summer day with a hint of rain.
