About the artist

Kings of Convenience

Kings of Convenience are the Norwegian duo that take folk-pop to serene new heights, like sipping a cup of chamomile tea on a cloud. Comprised of Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe, these two chaps have been harmonizing their way into our hearts since the early 2000s. With their delicate acoustic guitar plucking and angelic vocal harmonies, Kings of Convenience are like the musical equivalent of a warm hug on a rainy day. Their music is the kind of soothing balm that makes you forget all your worries and just float away on a sea of tranquility. But don't mistake their gentle vibes for blandness. These guys have a cheeky twinkle in their eyes and a knack for crafting songs that are as witty as they are mellifluous. Their lyrics are full of wry observations and dry humour, making them the perfect soundtrack for a lazy afternoon spent pondering the absurdity of life. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, Kings of Convenience have a way of worming their way into your soul and refusing to let go. So grab a cuppa, settle in, and let their dulcet tones wash over you like a musical warm bath. You won't regret it. Trust us.
