The Norwegian duo Kings of Convenience released their album Quiet Is the New Loud in 2001. They immediately left their mark. Two voices, two guitars, the soft harmonies and the "quiet" weighed anchor and set off on a voyage powered by the album's 12 songs. In this book we visit London, Liverpool, Manchester and their home town of Bergen in order to delve deeper into the thoughts and processes behind the songs, the album title, the design and the photographs which have contributed to Quiet Is the New Loud's longevity. The book also provides an insight into the disagreements between the two members of Kings of Convenience, their friendship and the brutal honesty that has helped keep the band alive fourteen years after the release of their debut album. Ørjan Nilsson (b. 1981) is a journalist and a writer. This is his first book.
