Riot On An Empty Street

Following the breakthrough success of Erlend Øye's phenomenal DJ Kicks, as well as his more dance-oriented solo material and a Kings of Convenience remix record, it would make sense for this hushed Norwegian folk duo's new album to move towards the electro realm. Rather, Riot on an Empty Street stands by the duo's famed motto-- "quiet is the new loud"-- and sends home another round of Simon & Garfunkel whispers and strums.

Riot on an Empty Street ends a long period of inactivity for Kings of Convenience.
