Röyksopp Announces New Album ‘True Electric’
The renowned Norwegian electronic music duo, Röyksopp, composed of Svein Berge and Torbjørn Bruntland, has exciting news for fans: they are set to release a new album titled True Electric.

To give fans a taste of what to expect, the duo has unveiled the track “What Else Is There? (True Electric),” featuring the talents of Fever Ray and Trentemøller.
Revamping a Classic
The track “What Else Is There?” originally debuted on Röyksopp’s 2005 album The Understanding. In this latest rendition, the duo has reimagined the song to capture the essence of their live DJ sets. This approach is consistent throughout True Electric, which features updated versions of several older tracks, including popular collaborations with Robyn like “The Girl and the Robot” and “Monument.”
