Röyksopp's Third Album This Year Now Has Its First Two Bacon Films
Aug. 30, 2022
Just a week ago, Norwegian duo Röyksopp released their second album this year, after an eight-year album hiatus. And just as its spring predecessor, Proufound Mysteries II was accompanied by a series of short films, on for each track, to provide extended teasers and a visual layer. Produced by Scandinavian production company Bacon, every film was directed by one of Bacon’s directors.
And the campaign toward the third Profound Mysteries album of 2022 now has begun, the two first tracks have gotten the Bacon treatment. The first track, titled "Speed King" and released on August 30th, has been interpreted by Bacon post-production coordinator and directorial talent Markus Tangre. Tangre has ventured into the world of puppeteering to create a dark-humored film named "speed_k1ng".
The second track, not yet released, is the backdrop of a beautifully crafted, bizarre, and bloody story of one man’s telepathic conversation with a crab in a fish market. The film is made by Danish director Johan Stahl. For the lead, Stahl has cast Jacob Nossel with whom he made the 2006 Sundance-winning documentary The Red Chapel. In this, Stahl and documentarian Mads Brügger went to North Korea with Nossel and another Danish actor who were both adopted from South Korea, to pose as a theatre troupe and expose the totalitarian regime. Stahl’s new film for Röyksopp, titled "A Crab & A Pipe" is subtitled in both English and Korean.
