Hey electronica fans - or really anyone into awesome music, we have something for you. Röyksopp, an electronic music duo based in Bergen, Norway (for those unaware) have teamed up with Robyn (hottest Swedish import!) for their next single "The Girl and the Robot."
The track is featured on their new album Junior which was recently released back in March. The physical album is pretty hard to come by here in the States, but thanks to the power of the internets (aka iTunes and Amazon) you can purchase it online.
We're not one to jump on bandwagons (much...) but the guys at Pitchfork are already declaring the track as a contender for "Single of the Year." I mean, how can you hate this slightly demented and chilling love song? You can't. Well, at least I can't especially with lines like "Don't deny me, call me back/I'm so alone."
You can check out a live performance of "The Girl and the Robot" below - yes, there's a "surprise" performance from Robyn. Enjoy kids! Also, stay tuned, I'm sure they'll be a boatload of remixes surfacing in the very near future.

I won't comment on Single of the Year status (it's only April), but any new Robyn is always good. This track seems more straightforward New Wave synth than the other Röyksopp stuff I've heard, so I like it. Just copped it from iTunes.
