Royksopp: "The Girl and the Robot" (ft. Robyn) (Stream)

8:53 p.m. · March 9, 2009 · by Matthew Richardson

Judging by the tracks that have surfaced so far from Röyksopp's upcoming Junior, this album is going to be a much busier affair than their previous work, The Understanding. New track, "The Girl And The Robot" has Swedish pop star Robyn professing her love/personal anguish for a lover who's so distant she's analogized him to a robot. Either that, or she's actually sleeping with a Terminator. "The Girl And The Robot" is such an excessively dance-oriented number that it could make you wonder if the Norwegian duo has decided to crank their decidedly downtempo leanings, up.
