VIDEO THRWBCK: Royksopp - Poor Leno (2002)
It was 2002, we were hanging out in Paris with all of our friends from high school, and "Poor Leno" was on MTV Europe every hour on the hour. Not to rehash old times, but it was through bands like the Norwegian electronica outfit Royksopp (along with a whole slew of French Touch bands and the first M83 abum) that really opened our minds to the world of electronic music beyond your typical dance floor fillers. To this day we listen to Royksopp's debut album Melody A.M. and are transported to a dreamscape of woodland creatures and bubbly synthesizers.
