← Back | Musician | 3 Music Videos
Kings Of Convenience, a Norwegian indie duo, has always swum against the current of the mainstream music industry. Consisting of Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe, this band has mastered the art of making intricate, melodic music that feels so pure that one could argue it's like a breath of fresh air in the thriving industry. Their humble yet remarkable style has had a massive impact in shaping the indie music scene, inspiring many contemporary artists to stick to their unique style and eschew commercialization.
The band's minimalistic style not only shines in their music but is also reflected in their music videos. One of their most iconic videos is for their song "I'd Rather Dance With You." Directed by Erlend and Eirik themselves, the video is entirely set in a library with Erlend showing off some very innovative dance moves throughout. Then there's "Misread," a video directed by French director Françoise Ellong, blending animation with real-life performances, integrating the visuals and the music seamlessly. The duo also has a knack for turning everyday locations into captivating sets as seen in the video for "Boat Behind," which was shot in a quaint Italian village, again directed by Erlend and Eirik. It's almost as if the duo enjoys making their audience play "guess the shooting location" while watching their videos. Their "Cayman Islands" video, directed by Norwegian director Mona Lerche, involved Erlend and Eirik rowing a boat in the middle of a lake, apparently in winter. The coldest music video shoot anyone has ever witnessed, or so they claim.
