Last week, Röyksopp told us that they had a new album on the way. They gave us a tracklist and said that it would have collabos with Robyn and Lykke Li and Karin Dreijer Andersson of the Knife/Fever Ray.But they did not tell us about asteroids and eyeball flowers and (I'm guessing) puddles of liquid-metal Terminator. Drowned in Sound just revealed the cover of Junior, and it has all those things on it, alongside a disembodied hand holding a telephone and the Norwegian duo themselves looking unimpressed by all the WTF-ness around them.Astralwerks will release Junior in the US on March 24, so you've got a couple of months to figure what the hell is going on there. First single "Happy Up Here" offers no indication.

Writing about this track last month, Marc Hogan called it a "a lightly percolating walk through the clouds, its rubbery synthesizers and wispy vocals suggesting a sunny-day equivalent to Air's Moon Safari (the French duo are a frequent point of comparison for the group)." This razor sharp, light bulb-blipping video brings the song to life by ask...

After the Norwegian duo of Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland celebrated their 10th happy birthday, they stopped by for a Progress Report, then reminded everyone that they're "Happy Up Here" (aka in Norway aka a rich country).
