Kings of Convenience

Kings of Convenience


My favorite Folk-guitar Duo, Kings of Convenience!


 Kings of Convenience are two Norwegian guys from Bergen, Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambæk Bøe, both born in 1975. (The man who is wearing big glasses, is Erlend Øye. The other man is Eirik Glambæk Bøe.)

  They met at school and at 16 they started playing together. They formed a rock band called Skog (forest in Norwegian) with two other friends.


 
And they released an EP before splitting up. Then, after releasing three EPs as Kings of Convenience with the Norwegian label Éllet and a self-titled album (Kings of Convenience) for the American Kindercore, they signed for the French label Source. They rearranged some old material and added some new for their acclaimed 'Quiet is the New Loud'.
They also released 'Versus', a compilation of remakes, remixes and collaborations.




 Their second album, which is released in 2004,'Riot on an Empty Street' was loved by all over the world. And their recent album, Declaration of Dependence’ released in 2009.  
 
 
Mrs. Cold

(‘Mrs. Cold’ is the list of one Declaration of Dependence’)




 This song is one of the popular song of ‘Kings of Convenience’. This song was background music in CF ‘KANU’
 



(I love Gong-U who is CF guy. <3 His image matches to Coffee well.)


Above this, kings of convenience’s songs are used in CF music frequently.  

Homesick (Lotte Delmonte CF)
Cayman island (Hyundai Automobile I40 CF)
Stay out of trouble (Can Maxwell house CF) … etc
 
These songs are very good too.... : )
 
I’d rather Dance with you
 
 This is one of my favorite song!  This song’s music video is very interesting. In this music video, Erlend Øye is dancing with girls. His dancing is very cute and humorous. (In fact, He is my Ideal type man.)
 


 And I like this song’s lyrics. ‘I’d rather dance with you than talk with you.’ It’s very cute lyrics. Isn't it?

Kings of Convenience! I will love your songs forever!

  3. I really enjoyed listening to these sample videos! This band is very mellow and soothing to listen to. Also the pictures of them are very stunning. I like how one man's hair is bright red and in another picture one man is wearing the vivid green scarf.
