Röyksopp have shared a new album, Nebulous Nights – An Ambient Excursion Into Profound Mysteries—an ambient reinterpretation of their Profound Mysteries project. Röyksopp recorded Nebulous Nights live, weaving in auditory call-backs to their catalog. Listen to the record below.
The Norwegian electronic music duo said in a press release, “Outside the pure listening pleasure, Nebulous Nights seeks to underline the importance of critical thinking and curious pondering. To foster a mindset that allows for exploration and personal growth, by not limiting one’s imagination and inquiry to a particular worldview or framework. Encapsulated succinctly in this quote by Albert Einstein: ‘The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all art and science. To whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.’”
