it's two guys making sweet guitar music, i have their album 'quiet is the new loud', it's ok, but i think you did a good thing picking up that remix album since it probably bores less quickly.
one of them, Erlend Øye, also made a cd with different electronic artists from all over the world (e.g. prefure73 and mr. velcro fastenter if i recall well).
it's an ok album too, although his voice might start to annoy you after a while

soothing music, but boring in the longrun, imho

They're boring. The remix-album has one good song, and it's numer 2, i think. Erlend Øye is totally gay (he lives here in Bergen), and I don't understand why he would go to techno-parties in Berlin, as he makes sleepy-guitar-music.
Their music makes me want to go to sleep, but the musical press here in Norway hailed them as the kings of new music... That doesn't necessarily have to be a good thing.

I agree with the Mastah. I'd much rather listen to simon & garfunkel and not the wannabe's that i think the kings are. I had some hope that erlend øye made something different with his solo album, but it's just the same but with an electronic beat. big boo.

Yeah. Kings of Convenience make no sense. (just HAD to put that rhyme in there, 'cause it sucked).

haha! That would be more fitting... if comedians were to make you sleep, that is.
