Kings of Convenience
On May 18th two men hailing from Norway stopped by the KCRW studios to record a live performance. Since they are from Norway I was curious to listen.
It's quite simple, two guitars, two guys singing. The guitar work is quite beautiful. Only two guitars but it has a very full sound. The melodies are all lovely. The two guitars create an atmosphere not usually seen in groups with many more instruments. The vocals are very folk, reminds many of Simon & Garfunkel, I'll agree.
Lyrics, well, I haven't really payed attention to those. Seems like love songs, I seemed to have caught a , "why can't you notice I love you?" theme in one song. I really just listen to the music and take the emotion from there. Either way, I'm enjoying it, you may as well. Quite relaxing, which I like.
Here's the performance, I believe mostly songs off their new record "Riot in an Empty Street".
