    What better way to end a five years of silence, minus a few tour dates here and there, with the release of a Declaration. On October 20th, the Norwegian folk-pop duo known as Kings of Convenience will offer their first full-length since 2004’s Riot on an Empty Street with a 13-track effort entitled Declaration of Dependence.

    Recoded in Begen, Norway and Italy and produced by longtime collaborator Davide Bertolini, the album is billed as featuring some of the group’s most stripped down material to date, with “hush,” “plaintive,” and “Simon & Garfunkel-ish” among the words Billboard.com is using to describe it.

    What’s ironic, however, is that the album’s first single is “Mrs. Cold”, one of the more upbeat tunes out of the 13 tracks. The single is currently available for stream at Stereogum.
