Riot on an Empty Street

When their debut album Quiet Is The New Loud was released in 2001, little did anyone know that these two Norwegian balladeers, armed only with soft voices and acoustic guitars, would become critical darlings (and find their music used in a national TV campaign for AT&T). Since then, Kings Of Convenience have cemented their place in alternative music circles everywhere, with a best-selling album and a subsequent remix package called "Versus." (Band member Erlend Oye recently took this dance side-step even further, recording his own electro-pop album, "Unrest," and putting together one of the most acclaimed albums in the DJ Kicks series.) Now the Kings return to their acoustic roots with another album of intimate songs, which includes the addictive new single, "I'd Rather Dance With You."
