Röyksopp shares new single and announces Profound Mysteries part II

Electronic pop trailblazers Röyksopp announce the second part to their expansive 'Profound Mysteries' project, ‘Profound Mysteries II’, which will be available on 19th August.

Yesterday Röyksopp delighted fans with the surprise release of new track ‘Sorry’ featuring Jamie Irrepressible, and, today, hot on its heels comes ‘Unity’ featuring Karen Harding.

Speaking about the collaboration Harding said, “Truly honoured to be working with Röyksopp, I'm a fan and have always loved the way they perform their music. 'Unity' is such a special record that builds with an intensity that I crave in music, this helped with the vocal performance in so many ways.”

Svein Berge & Torbjørn Brundtland : “‘Profound Mysteries II’ is a direct continuation of the first instalment. Reoccurring themes such as love & loss, despair & reconciliation, is wrapped up in an esoteric nod to those artists and genres that shaped us in our formative years.” -

'Profound Mysteries' is characterised by its wealth of collaborations. As always, Berge and Brundtland wrote, performed, and engineered the majority of the record together in Norway, though their collaborations span the world. On 'Profound Mysteries' Röyksopp recorded strings and woodwind in New York, Berlin, and Paris, while guest vocals come from both familiar artists in the Röyksopp universe (Susanne Sundfør) as well as new additions (Allison Goldfrapp, Beki Mari, Astrid S, Karen Harding, Pixx and Jamie Irrepressible).

There is a unique expanded creative universe with each track accompanied by an ‘artefact’ and ‘visualiser’ created by Australian contemporary artist Jonathan Zawada, as well as a short film made in collaboration with Scandinavian production agency Bacon.
