Erlend and Eirik are old friends of mine, but now that they're famous, I never get to meet up with them any more and their gigs are always either sold out or on when I'm not in town, doh! Last time I really saw them was the day they signed with Source Records. They celebrated with a gig Upstairs At the Garage in London...which was good, but not as good as the 'gig' that Erlend and Eirik played for me and one other in someone's living room later that night! Only marginally better than the very first Kings of Convenience gig I saw at the Poetry Cafe in London about 3 years ago, which was also like seeing them play in someone's living room.

Actually it's kind of a nightmare scenario that erupts when I listen to them because I keep imagining the two men's haircuts, as they sing in an empty room somewhere and I can't believe it's for real. It's as if they're secretly being sarcastic through their singing about the fact I as a listener must think that they look as if they're the most dull looking people in the world with dull haircuts who should belong in the Eurovision Song Contest, and then my mind is obviously be caught up in the haunting mind numbing prettiness of their songs. This is a kind of creative paranoia event I'm having and enjoying. Of course it's beautiful and I want to buy the CD album. There's an interview with them in the new issue of NME.

There is something very beautifully boring and cosy about this single definitely, which can be a positive comment from my own perspective, of course I wouldn't shove that comment in everyone's face because of the possible misunderstanding that it could cause . That gig in the living room somewhere sounds beautiful. I'll have to look out the next time they're on the way here.
