Review

More than just Erlend Oye's temporary departure from Kings of Convenience, Unrest is an amalgam of heartfelt lyrics from the wrong side of love's tracks, with strains of bitterness present but never overwhelming. In true minstrel fashion, Norway's troubadour invites 10 different electronic producers from 10 different cities to get involved in the project. The result is largely successful; Oye's warm tones have a restraining quality that offsets any uptempo dominance by artists more used to making music for dance floors. Morgan Geist, Prefuse 73, Kompis, and Schneider TM are among the collaborative line up that, by the end, makes one wonder whether they are redefining the electronica "easy listening" experience. --Found SoundsThe first solo album release by Kings Of Convenience member Erlend Oye. Collaborators include talented American producer Morgan Geist (Metro Area) and Brooklyn's Soviet while Europe is represented by up-and-comers Mr. Velcro Fastener, Kompis, Jolly Music, Prefuse 73 and more. 10 tracks plus exclusive U.S. hidden track. Astralwerks. 2003.
