“Traversing haunting electro, 1990s UK rave, and glittering disco, the expected final entry in the series that started in April is an after-hours playlist with staying up late for.” - ESQUIRE
“Röyksopp’s commitment to their art is far more measured and sincere than most of the stereotypes that have permeated various music subgenres.” - SPIN
“Norwegian duo put a bow on their magnum opus.” - UNCUT
“A multimedia opus pondering some of Röyksopp’s biggest questions about life and the universe, the ‘Profound Mysteries’ series has combined film, photography and animation with the duo’s signature electronia.” - DJ
Röyksopp are heralding the impending arrival of Profound Mysteries III, and the end of the acclaimed Profound Mysteries series, with another propulsive banger featuring the towering vocal talents of Susanne Sundfør. Wearing their love of Depeche Mode proudly, “Stay Awhile” once again demonstrates the innate musical chemistry between RYXP and Sundfør. According to Svein Berge & Torbjørn Brundtland, “‘Stay Awhile’ deals with solitude, longing and the basic human need for intimacy.”
As part of the duo’s release week celebrations they will be hosting a special extended livestream event on Thursday, November 17th on the RYXP YouTube channel at 7pm CET | 6pm GMT | 1pm EST | 10am PST.
Röyksopp’s 2023 ‘True Electric’ EU Tour will start in Sweden on February 16th, including dates at London’s O2 Brixton Academy on February 19th and Tempodrom in Berlin on February 23rd. The ‘True Electric’ tour will be the legendary duo’s first tour since 2017. This year Röyksopp premiered their audacious live show to festivals in Norway, flamboyant costumes included, reminding everyone why they’re one of the world’s must see live artists.

Speaking about Profound Mysteries III, Berge & Brundtland said it “...concludes our triple album endeavor. Beneath its golden, shimmering sheen, lie levels of ambiguity and contrast; the sweet and the harrowing, the wonderful and the wrong. We are human, we dream.”
