Tromsø, Norway (1998 – present)
Röyksopp is an electronic music duo formed in 1998 in Tromsø, Norway and currently based in Bergen, Norway. The band consists of Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge, both being songwriters, producers and remixers. They usually rely on the use of other vocalists for their songs and occasionally they perform the vocal parts. The Norwegian word “røyksopp” means puffball fungus (literally “smoke mushroom”).
Brundtland and Berge were schoolmates in their hometown Tromsø, experimenting with electronic instruments in the early 90s and being a part of their city’s techno scene. As they grew up in northern Norway, they listened to local artists like Bel Canto and Biosphere. The band has also expressed their interest in the music of Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Giorgio Moroder, Art of Noise, Vangelis, Erik Satie, and Francis Lai. They were members of various electro acts in their youth, such as Alanïa, Drum Island and Aedena Cycle. After recording as part of Aedena Cycle, Berge and Brundtland left the group to form their own band, Röyksopp.
In 8 October 2001, Röyksopp released their debut album Melody A.M. on Wall Of Sound label. This critically acclaimed downtempo album reached #1 in Norway charts, #9 in UK Albums Chart, #18 in US Top Electronic Albums. Melody A.M.

@nopersonality - It was Anneli Drecker, also from Norway. She often tours with them and is the vocalist for a few of their album tracks- of the songs performed last night she is the original vocalist for True To Life. She was definitely singing live during the Girl and the Robot but there was one part I thought may have been dubbed with the original vocal from Robyn.

Does any one know if they use regional vocalists for their gigs, or if they use the orignal vocal tracks? Last nights Melbourne sideshow had a female vocalist on stage. The Girl And The Robot was obviously dubbed, but the others seemed to be live. Would be nice to know who it was.
