Why do we like this?

There's a lot of new music floating out there today (eg, Lorde, Rhye, Emancipator), but this single by Erlend Øye stands out as one of my favorites.

Given that yesterday's song of the day was Kings Of Convenience (of which Erlend happens to be one half), you wouldn't be wrong to call me "biased" toward this sound. I am, and I'll readily admit it: I friggin' love this guy.

"Rainman" will appear on Erlend's LP Lacao next week, available for pre-order here.

By Jason Grishkoff on May 16, 2014 | A couple weeks back I spent 10 days in the South African Karoo attending an event called AfrikaBurn (it's a lot like Burning Man). Obviously -- being in the middle of nowhere -- there was no access to internet. And so, rather than streaming fresh mu... read more →

By Jason Grishkoff on Jul 18, 2014 | There's a good chance you're familiar with Erlend Øye: he makes up one half of Kings of Convenience, and was also the front-man for the now-defunct The Whitest Boy Alive. And if you are familiar, then you're probably just as excited as I am to hear a... read more →
