Cover Feature Röyksopp and Robyn: “It’s not just a new collaboration, it’s for a new purpose”
Scandinavian giants Röyksopp and Robyn are two artists who avoid repetition like the plague. Read July’s cover feature ahead of their Latitude appearance this weekend.
Days could be spent trying to find two acts more in line with each other than Röyksopp and Robyn. Their tastes and ideas match to a T. Not only that - their views on what it takes to be an artist also align. They’re musicians who have, on their own journey, shunned stardom. Both share Number One hits, both write inherently sad music that nags at the conscience. They explore these traits in very different ways, but there couldn’t be a more fitting meeting of minds than ‘Do It Again’, their new mini-album. Even the blindingly white hair and collective wiriness of David Byrne and St. Vincent can’t match the Scandinavians’ kinship.
As featured in the July 2014 issue of DIY, out now.
