CD Reviews

No rest for the wicked!

T. Snyder | AZ | 03/18/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Erlend Oye takes a somewhat-big departure from the Kings of Convenience "Quiet is the new Loud" album. His "Unrest" album is a lot closer to the feel of the KofC "Versus" remix album.Still, he's got a great voice. This is blippy synthpop electronica music with him on the top. So it's quite cool. Quite different than a lot of music available today. Pick it up if you want to try some different music out."

Fun stuff

the heckler | Michigan, USA | 03/15/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The concept is great: 10 songs written in different locations with 10 different electronic acts. If you are familiar with Kings of Convenience, most likely, you will be pleasantly surprised with the results. While the album is far from sounding like Kings of Convenience (well, maybe it sounds a bit like Versus at times), it still retains that certain Erlend-ness and builds upon it. The CD is catchy with an infectious 80's vibe resurfacing throughout; it's very danceable, diverse, and creative. Oye has a unique vocal delivery and continues to establish himself as a pop-music wizard. Sometimes his approach grows a little tiresome, as on the particularly bland 'Every Party Has A Winner and A Loser,' but every song on here deserves a listen. Overall, it is a more than acceptable substitute for a new KOC album."

You'll never get uncomfortable with unrest

Jose Luis Olivares | Austin, TX | 09/15/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Although a dizzying array of DJs and producers helped Erlend make this album, it still sounds like a unified whole. Filled with Erlend's soothing voice and calm, catchy bleeps and thumps, Unrest manages to keep the same tranquility and quiet beauty of Kings of Convenience while sounding uniquely different. This CD is perfect for rainy road trips, making out, or relaxing with friends after a party. Fans of The Postal Service should definately give Unrest a listen."
