Norway's Kings of Convenience re-emerge with 'Peace or Love'

We've had quite a few bands announcing their new music returns after an extended hiatus. Here's another...

Kings of Convenience just released their first album in 12 years, Peace Or Love on Imperial Records. It is accompanied by latest single, “Catholic Country” which features vocals from Canadian singer/songwriter Feist.

“Feist was coming to Europe in the summer of 2019 and motivated us to get some recordings done at Erlends house in Sicily” explains Erlend. “We worked on many songs there, some of which will see the light of day in the future, but Catholic Country was already the ripest of fruit. It only needed picking.”

Eirik Glambeck Boe and Erlend Oye met at school in Bergen, Norway and first performed together in the rock band Skog before breaking off and forming a duo in 1999. The pair established themselves as inadvertent trailblazers of a new wave of intimate, acoustic music. They’ve released 3 critically acclaimed albums, toured all around the world and cultivated a dedicated fanbase.

The band have shows at London's Royal Festival Hall on September 26, 2021 (afternoon matinee and an evening show.)
