Röyksopp to Tour the U.S. in March

Marquee umlaut sales at all-time high

For the past few monts, the American rock press has been sprouting collective wood over Scandinavian exports Röyksopp. Mentioned in the same breath with the electronic elite-- Air, Boards of Canada, Goldfrapp-- the duo is hitting clubs, bars, theatres, and any other place that will have them to bring the live version of their spectacular full-length, Melody A.M., to our ears. The show is set to feature "front and center guitars, vocals, drums, keyboards, and a dazzling light and video show." Though we have yet to review their record (we're getting to it, already!), we won't protest if you want to hear these guys-- as they put it-- "searching for the truth." Tourdates:
