I think that when people stop going to clubs to watch DJs perform, there will be an increase in beachfront acoustic performances.

I wonder what the world would be like if Erlend Oye was an over-branded alternative celebrity.

How are you preparing for the electro recession?
Are you getting back into old music that you used to appreciate when u wanted so badly to believe that there was truth that love is real?
Are you buying canned goods & bottled water?

Love yall. Be careful. Listen to each new MP3 like it’s the last one you’ll ever hear. Goodnite world.

I think he has rightfully earned a reputation as ‘one of the most talented artists in indie music’ with his dynamic range of projects.
His work has never left room to disappoint, so I encourage experiencing his albums.

Erlend Oye Solo = Pleasant Sounding Electronic Music That is really good, but would probably be called ‘unmemorable’ if it was made in 2007
Erlend Oye DJ = Bringing the party with a lot of ‘hits that you’ve never heard but will soon love’
Kings of Convenience = Simon and Garfunkel-esque 2 dudes on acoustic guitar band
The Whitest Boy Alive = modern indie band making pop music that sound like the best stuff from between 1985-2015

MP3: The Whitest Boy Alive – Burning
MP3: Erlend Oye – Ghost Trains
MP3: Kings of Convenience – I’d Rather Dance With You

His offical website is pretty pleasant, too. http://www.erlendoye.com/

For the record, the Kings of Convenience video for “I’d Rather Dance With You” is probably one of the best ever made/most memorable, in my opinion. It’s like a throwback to the days when videos could have a fun/formulaic concept, and bands didn’t just over-conceptualize their music videos.
