Kings of Convenience - Declaration of Dependence

Let's continue with this "I've seen live" chain, because (ah-ah) I've seen Kings of Convenience at Optimus Primavera Sound, back in June, last year, the same day I saw the xx live for the second time. Wow, it sure was an amazing show.
So this is their third record, it came out in 2010, if I'm not mistaken and it's my favourite. Although I love songs from "Riot On An Empty Street", I don't really like "Quiet Is The New Loud". But this is about the other one. I adore this record, and like Big Deal, the only instruments, besides Eirik Glamboe and Erlend Oye's voices, are guitars. However, in this band, they both play acoustic guitar, which, in my opinion, just match their voices. Oh God how I love their voices, Erlend's most, it feels like silk in my ears. Sadly he sings mostly the back vocals, while Eirik takes the lead.
I don't know what to say more about the, except they really have this kind of bossa nova groove that I really enjoy, being myself a lover of bossa nova music.
So my favourite song in this record is "24-25" because I really really really love the "guitar solo" towards the end and the lyrics like "... dreams burn / but in ashes are gold ..."
So go listen to them because they are just perfect.
