Following the release of their fifth album, 'The Inevitable End,' in 2014, the Norwegian pair declared "goodbye to the traditional album format," but promised to keep producing music together.
Röyksopp’s Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland said in a statement: “As human beings, what we don’t know vastly overshadows what we do know.
“As teenagers, we would discuss our own fascination and preoccupation with the infinite and the impossible – the most profound mysteries of life.”
