Eight years after bidding farewell to the traditional album format, the Norwegian duo returns with a sprawling multimedia project whose best material feels, ironically, like a return to form.

Röyksopp’s much teased Profound Mysteries is a multidimensional adventure

The dance duo invite Astrid S, Alison Goldfrapp and Susanne Sundfør along for a double album ride into Scandi melancholy and nostalgic dance

Following 2014's The Inevitable End, Norwegian electronic icons Röyksopp swore off the traditional album format with an eye on freeing themselves of its expectations and cyclical obligations.

The vast creativity and breadth of Röyksopp's 'Profound Mysteries' are impressive. A suite of short films operates as a gorgeous visual interpretation.
