KINGS OF CONVENIENCE Declaration Of Dependence (2009 UK 13-track vinyl LP – Kings of Convenience’s third album, ‘Declaration of Dependence’, is a wonderful record for a lot of reasons. For one, Eirik Bøe is equally comfortable talking about the record’s ‘serious ideas’ and laughing about its’ ‘hi-brow Bossa Nova’ moments while his partner Erlend Øye is clearly thrilled by making, ‘the most rhythmical pop record ever that features no percussion or drums’. For another, there is no one who makes records like they do. But the most striking thing about this album is how powerfully it reminds you that making music together is not a game, it’s not something to be undertaken lightly, this record is part of a much larger picture, a long and involved relationship that has had its good and bad times. As beautiful as you would expect [and songs like ‘Second to Numb’, ‘Rule My World’ and ’24-25′ are as perfectly realised as anything they’ve ever written], it also marks the beginning of a new era for the duo. Presented in a sealed gatefold picture sleeve)
