Röyksopp & Susanne Sundfør Collaborate On New Song, ‘Running To The Sea’

Röyksopp have posted footage on their website of them - and singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør - performing a brand new song, titled ‘Running To The Sea’.

The performance and collaboration was part of Norwegian television show NRK Lydverket’s anniversary celebrations.

The band explain:

“For a long time we’ve been considering an artist collaboration with Susanne Sundfør, and the final anniversary show of NRK Lydverket turned out to be the ideal time and place.

Initially, we thought about performing a pure cover version, but the chemistry and vibes between the three of us was out of the ordinary, which led us to put together a new track from scratch. The song Running To The Sea was written and recorded in two days, just in time for the TV-performance.

Susanne possesses a unique combination of distinctiveness and international talent, unique far beyond the borders of Norway. In addition, she has insightful knowledge on cooking inside a pit dug out of the ground.

Susanne delivered gold on her first vocal take. We still asked her to do another 58 though. These were never used, however, having these unused vocal takes available created an atmosphere of luxury in the studio.”

The track will be released ‘soon’, with fans asked to sign up to the band’s newsletter to find out when.
