Kings of Convenience are an indie folk-pop duo from Norway. Consisting of Erlend Oye and Eirik Glambek Boe, they are best known for their delicate tunes, calming voices, and intricate and subtle guitar melodies.
Now, three albums deep they have just released 'Declaration of Dependence' and I declare this as their best work to date. It's a sublime effort with stand out tracks 'Mrs Cold and Rule My World' , which are both upbeat and catchy.
If you like chilled out, acoustic style music then you cannot go wrong with 'Declaration of Dependence', thisdeserves to be in eveyone's CD collection.

Feist is a Canadian singer/songwriter for those who do not know and one of my all favourite singers. I absolutely love her and this version of 'gatekeeper', the original version of gatekeeper can be found on Feist's album 'let it die'.
Listening to this song reminds me of the summertime and eating peanut butter on toast.
