Kings Of Convenience Share New Song, ‘Fever,’ From Forthcoming Album ‘Peace Or Love’
Kings of Convenience have also confirmed two shows at London’s Royal Festival Hall in September as well as dates throughout Europe.
Kings of Convenience―the Norwegian duo of Eirik Glambeck Boe and Erlend Oye―released “Fever,” the second track from their highly anticipated new album Peace or Love, out via IMPERIAL Music on June 18.
The band has amassed over a billion streams globally and the album marks their first album in over a decade. Today’s single is an intimate, bossa nova infused piece, with the duo’s chiming guitar melodies beautifully complimented by lilting strings and elegant piano. The song’s lyrics are a testament to their skill as writers, using the fever metaphor as a way of exploring love, both in its highs and its lows.
“Fever” is the song on Peace or Love that was the quickest to write, “born from a pure and simple burst of inspiration” explains Erlend. “The recording and arranging however, was as usual a long process, culminating in Eirik adding the riveting piano outro in the albums final days of recording in February 2020.
Kings of Convenience have also confirmed two shows at London’s Royal Festival Hall in September as well as dates throughout Europe. North American dates will be announced soon.
