Soirée de Poche - Kings of Convenience


Delicacy, intricacy, subtlety... plenty of words describe it well, but no word can accurately explain simply how beautiful the music of two Norwegian guys truly is. In a very calming style, Kings of Convenience is more than accustomed to sing their sweet songs as they pluck their dual guitars expertly, creating melodies with incredible depth for our auditory enjoyment. It's been awhile since Erlend Øye and Eirik Bøe have treated us to some new music. But as of last month, Kings of Convenience released their latest and greatest album, Declaration of Dependence, and is a delightfully mellow album that has been so eagerly awaited by fans.

Recently, though, the Norwegian duo wandered to Paris. In a special presentation with the series of recorded performances, Soirée de Poche - a series hosted by La Blogotheque - Kings of Convenience offers a truly unique performance. I could tell you all about it, but instead, why not watching it right here on Voilà!, and experience it for yourself? And don't forget to visit Soirée de Poche's archives, which include Andrew Bird, Beirut, and many more lovely performances.
