	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: On the Radar: Kings of Convenience
		The Kings of Convenience cross the Atlantic for a short one-month jaunt in the northeast states, leaving their native Norway, where their last album, 2003’s Riot on an Empty Street sold more than 400,000 European copies.
		The Kings hit the scene in 2000 with a self-titled album on Kindercore, but it wasn’t until 2001’s Quiet is the New Loud on Astralwerks that the band entered the critical limelight.
		The meeting of voice is seamless, as is the meeting of minds: Kings of Convenience combine two talents and form an organic whole that will surely charm in concert all who are able to hear.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Quiet Is the New Loud, The Kings of Convenience, CD
		Under an album title that practically became a mantra for the European music press, Kings of Convenience display everything that is right and everything that is wrong with the new acoustic movement.
		It's nearly impossible to find a hint of irony in the music of Kings of Convenience, whereas Belle and Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch seems to have his tongue firmly planted in cheek.
		Kings of Convenience seem to merely seek calm moods and discuss relationships.

		The Norwegian duo Kings of Convenience made a splash in their own low-key way with their 2001 album QUIET IS THE NEW LOUD.
		The Kings Of Convenience remix album and Øye's solo debut provided further evidence of a willingness to experiment with electronica.
		Nevertheless, the duo's third album as Kings Of Convenience, 2004"s Riot On An Empty Street, returned to the Simon And Garfunkel territory of their earlier work.

	Hushed life - The Boston Globe
		Kings of Convenience perform music that ideally should be heard on a sunny Sunday morning and used as a soundtrack for deciphering crossword puzzle clues while lazily dissecting a cranberry scone.
		But the recording process for the Kings of Convenience's second album, ''Riot on an Empty Street," was nothing like the reflective music that resulted.
		When the two met again to record ''Riot on an Empty Street" last year, Oye was ready to eschew all the electronics and return to the Kings of Convenience sparse melodies.

		The Kings of Convenience are two young men from Norway who both play guitars and come off like a narcoleptic Belle and Sebastian.
		The Kings of Convenience are trying to squeeze into the niche of indie-easy-listening which is slowly getting filled by bands like Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, the Sea and Cake, etc. If you go for those things then this disc will no doubt find a place on your shelf.

		They remained friends, kept writing songs and eventually decided to seek a record deal under the name Kings Of Convenience.
		But the tone that the Kings Of Convenience adopt is what gives them their edge.
		While they too can provide great imagery, it is the stripped down tone that transforms their songs into music that is that little bit more familiar or personal to the listener.

	Kings Of Convenience - Riot On An Empty Street : album review
		The Kings of Convenience made a big impression with their debut album, the aptly titled Quiet Is The New Loud, receiving critical acclaim from one and all.
		Riot On An Empty Street has all of the whimsical charm that made their 2001 effort such a success, even in the form of a remarkably similar cover, featuring two Kings Eirik Glambek Boe and Erlend Oye alongside a mysterious and unnamed woman.
		Shades of 18th century England come to mind when you hear the opening strings and there is even the mention of "10 pence pieces" in the lyrics.

		Kings of convenience isn’t a very apt way to describe Eirik Glambek Boe and Erlend Øye’s working relationship.
		The new approach is of course influenced by Erlend’s work with electronica producers, but he’s keen to maintain a clear distinction between Kings Of Convenience and his solo work.
		Kings Of Convenience — Riot On An Empty Street, released 21 June 04 on Source Records.

		The harmonic simplicity of Kings Of Convenience’s angelina-fragile vocals and subtle guitar textures carried these Bergen boys into the hearts of the enlightened.

	Kings Of Convenience: Riot On An Empty Street (2004): Reviews
		The Kings of Convenience don’t stray too far from their basic formula of guitars, upright bass, twinkling piano, viola, cello and soft percussion in the background.
		At this point, we can assume with a fair amount of certainty that they won't be throwing a diverse masterwork our way any time soon, and if the most we can ask for is a consistent run through low-tempo folk, Riot is probably as good as they're going to give us.
		Kings of Convenience would do well to assimilate more of Øye's electronic leanings into their original sound, rather than merely mining sad troubadours past for inspiration and leaving these tracks as sparse source material for the obligatory remix album.

	Imperial Eras
		Much of what came to constitute China Proper was unified for the first time in 221 B.C. In that year the western frontier state of Qin, the most aggressive of the Warring States, subjugated the last of its rival states.
		Centralization, achieved by ruthless methods, was focused on standardizing legal codes and bureaucratic procedures, the forms of writing and coinage, and the pattern of thought and scholarship.
		The Han rulers modified some of the harsher aspects of the previous dynasty; Confucian ideals of government, out of favor during the Qin period, were adopted as the creed of the Han empire, and Confucian scholars gained prominent status as the core of the civil service.

	Koc Page Neumo's, Seattle
		Any gloriously drunken rebel can compare the Kings of Convenience to Simon and Garfunkel, as I had the pleasure of witnessing March 12 at Neumo's—which was packed!
		The Kings are skilled craftsmen of delicate Euro-pop, seamless blenders of voices, fine players of equally fine acoustic guitars, and dead ringers for our favorite folk-rock-era duo, right down to the fro on the tall tenor.
		It appeared the majority of the crowd at Neumo's was fine with the Kings of Convenience's opening request; I was not.

		At the forefront of this wave of artists, which includes Lene Marlin, Magnet and electronic leaders Royksopp, are the Kings Of Convenience.
		This is a very good question because since the last Kings album, Eirik has been busy finishing off a psychology degree at home in Norway, whilst it has in fact been Erlend who has been getting himself involved in all kinds of interesting side projects.
		His fellow King is far less enamoured, however, with my suggestion that they could work together with another rising Norwegian star, Magnet.

	The Kings of Convenience - Parent Friendly Indie-Folk Makes Good
		When I first heard the Kings of Convenience on the radio, I was immediately attracted to the melancholy sound of their gorgeous two part harmonies.
		Kings of Convenience are not the typical modern sound you’ll hear from the Astralwerks catalog.
		Ending on a positive note, the best thing I can say to promote this album is to encourage you to listen to “Surprise Ice.” The song is pure gold - one of the best songs I have heard all year.

	Off the Record \| Kings of Convenience (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Had Simon and Garfunkel grown up as specks on Norway’s blue-and-green horizon instead of dots in Manhattan’s slate-gray matrix, their acoustic, harmony-dappled folk pop might’ve sounded like the kind the Kings of Convenience make on Quiet Is the New Loud.
		Members of the same European clique that’s produced " smart rock " sensations Coldplay and Badly Drawn Boy, the Kings employ the clean, lyrical grace suggested by their homeland’s geography to craft breathtakingly economical songs about hushed, intimate desperation.
		It’s that spartan sense of restraint — nimbly picked acoustic guitar is apparently the Kings’ idea of the new loud — that makes these songs distinctive, and it’s what emphasizes the greatest songwriting gift of Erlend Øy and Eirik Glambek Bøe: their ability to make the prosaic sound poetic.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: The Kings of Convenience: Versus
		While the addition of the organ sounds isn't a far stretch from the usual Kings of Convenience fare, the song as a whole lends a more upbeat and nearly optimistic tone to what was originally borderline depressing.
		The Kings of Convenience get in on the action themselves with a re-arranged version of "Failure" (previously released as a UK single), which functions as an alternate to Alfie's more dramatic revision of the song.
		The Kings' version adds a string section, while the latter slips in tribal drumming and equally willowy, though slightly more nasal, vocals.

		Following a trio of 7” singles on the cult label Telle Records, the Kings signed with Source Records, released an EP recorded live in a room, entitled “live in a room,” which captivated many with its heartwarming charm.

		The Kings continued to play shows across Europe, including one rather intimate show in front of some diplomats at a Nobel peace prize reception at the Norwegian ambassador’s residence in London, and culminating in a triumphant sell out show at London’s Union chapel.
