The muted hues, the subdued texture of the light, the encroaching dusk. There’s a sort of unspoken beautiful melancholy to autumn that has nothing to do with gloom or sadness. It hangs in the air, soft at the edges. Released 25 years ago this year, Kings of Convenience’s Quiet Is the New Loud gave that aching melancholy a voice.

Kings of Convenience :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview
Peace or Love, the first new music from Kings of Convenience in over 11 years, picks up right where they left off with 2009’s Declaration of Dependence. The cozy harmonies and guitar melodies are still as lush and inviting as ever, and pleasantly augmented by touches of violin, keyboards, and a light smattering of percussion. We recently caught up with principals Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe in anticipation of the album’s release.
