The Norwegian based duo Kings of Convenience have a new record ‘Declaration of Independence’ out today, and yes the they have actually pressed a vinyl version to go along with the digital and compact disc release.
Eirik Glambek Bøe and Erlend Øye are the Kings of Convenience. I’m a fan of their music, contemplative lyrics and soulful melodies. They have a Simon and Garfunkle sound to them, but they also love adding in latin sounds or beats.
You can have a listen to all of their new songs here:

I’ve found some of their new songs recorded at a concert in Seoul:
‘Rule My World’
‘Love is no big truth‘
‘Peacetime Resistance‘
‘Mrs. Cold‘
Well, I hope you like their music, let me know what you think !
Here is one for the road 
Seamus, you got in ahead of me. The new album is excellent. I’ve been listening to it over the past few days. They have such a beautiful sound - some great tracks. Very cool.
Darren, apologies for getting this in ahead of your review. The album is excellent, great sound, could listen to them all day..
Ah don’t apologise - it saved me writing it up.
