In addition to the tour that Robyn and Royksopp will be performing together, they have also decided to release a mini album as a band to celebrate the occasion. The album will be titled Do it Again, same as the tour name.
The mini album will be five tracks in length. A snippet of the first track song, “Monument” can be sampled below. The album is set to release on May 26. The full length first track will be released on April 28.
According to a press release, Royksopp stated that the Do it Again album is an introduction to their upcoming album. Do it Again features two tracks from their upcoming album.
Robyn commented on the collaboration saying, “Svein and Torbjörn and I started working on new music in the beginning of 2013, I´ve been going back and forth to Bergen to record and write with the boys up until recently. Collaborating with S & T is something I enjoy very much. In the beginning we just knew we wanted to do something together and then it started to feel more like a band thing than songs for a Röyksopp or Robyn album so we´re releasing this music together as a band you could say.” Royksopp feels this will be their best collaboration yet. The band collaborated with Robyn back on the 2009 single, “The Girl and The Robot”.
The Do it Again tour will begin in June. A track list for the album and tour dates can be found below. More information about Robyn and Royksopp can be found on their websites.
