ROYKSOPP
BEAUTIFUL DAY WITHOUT YOU
PIAS / WALL OF SOUND

Just in time for the summer, Royksopp lift the floaty & fluffy pastel shaded ‘Beautiful Day Without You’, from their gold album ‘The Understanding‰. In it’s original form ‘Beautiful Day Without You’ wafts in on an electronic psychedelic breeze, lifting sun soaked harmonies up onto a hazy high as they glide around the melodies, making you feel like nothing could go wrong in this beautiful place, but there’s a dark undercurrent running through the lyrics. ‘Beautiful Day Without You’ is reminiscent of I Monster and early Air . Remixes come courtesy of Cass & Mangan, Rex The Dog and Wighnomy & Robag Whruhme. Plus there’s a bonus cut which is a live recording of Royksopp covering the Queens Of The Stone Age hit ‘Go With The Flow’. Aahh! A taste of summer.
