Singing softly to me (Kings Of Convenience) (LP 2950)

Kings Of Convenience  Quiet is the New Loud (CD, Astralwerks Records, 2001) ***  

GenreFolk, alt-pop 

Places I remember: Charity shop in Caterham

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: I Don't Know What I Can Save You From

Gear costume: Winning A Battle, Losing the War

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4

Active compensatory factors: I heard the Fab, and other... track on an acoustic chill album and loved it. Typically, it turns out to be the best song on this album - the Norwegian folk duo's debut album (that's the two blokes on the cover).

The rest of the album does what it says on the tin - quiet, alt-pop tunes that make for terrific background music on a balmy day. It's pleasant but not a lot lingers in the memory.

Where do they all belong? A potential album for WTWMC at some point as the amigos would probably like it (probably more than I do).
