<p>‘The Inevitable End’, is Röyksopp's second album release in the space of 6 months, following the critically acclaimed mini album ‘Do It Again’ with fellow Scandinavian legend Robyn . ’The Inevitable End' is their most personal album to date and features Jamie McDermott (The Irrepressibles), Ryan James (Man Without Country), Norwegian singer songwriter Susanne Sundfør and Robyn.<br /> <br />Having now created five complete bodies of work, the pair feel like the future is open to being more experimental with how they share their music.<br /> <br />“We feel like this is a goodbye to the traditional album format,” explains Svein. “In our consecutive run of albums, we have been able to say what we want to say and do what we want to do with the LP. We're not going to stop making music, but the album format as such, this is the last thing from us.”<br /> <br />Opening track ‘Skulls’ feels like classic Röyksopp – all squelchy bass lines, filtered synths and vocodered, yet soulful vocals – the album also takes in sophisticated, delicate heartbreak on the Man Without Country collaboration ‘Sordid Affair’; odd, shape-shifting ambience on the Robyn-featuring ‘Rong’; bouncing electro pop on the deceptively upbeat ‘Save Me’ and the deliriously sad, cry-on-the-dance floor classic, ‘I Had This Thing’.</p>
