Rokysopp's Profound Mysteries Explained & A Summer Solstice Soundscape This Weekend on Echoes.
John Diliberto & Royksopp
An exploding puff ball mushroom is the inspiration for the name of Norway’s Röyksopp. This duo’s music has ranged from ambient to pure dance pop. Their new album, Profound Mysteries, finds a place somewhere between that spectrum with icy instrumentals and collaborations with singers like Alison Goldfrapp. John Diliberto talks to Röyksopp from their studio on Echoes from PRX.
Get ready for an Echoes Summer Solstice. Last summer we thought we were out of the Pandemic woods and the solstice would mark a return to world as we knew it. That didn’t quite happen, but this summer hope is renewed and we’ve got some music to celebrate the Summer Solstice 2022, the longest day of the year. We let the sun shine in as we orchestrate your soundscape for the suns long journey. We’ll hear music from Jake Shimabukuro, George Winston, and Sun’s Signature, a song that could’ve been from the Summer of Love but isn’t, a track from the Land of the Midnight Sun and a track from down under who have another 6 months to their Summer Solstice. Soak up the sonic rays of an Echoes Summer Solstice Soundscape from PRX.
