Royksopp 'can't perform new album live'

Royksopp have revealed that they do not know how to perform their new album live.

The group, who are gearing up for the release of their new album Senior, described the LP as "introspective" and said that they are unsure how it would translate into a live show.

Singer Svein Bege told BBC's 6 Music: "We don't know how to approach touring because it's a hard thing to bring to the stage.

"I think the audience would have to be sat down in a dark room, preferably with an opium pipe in their hand for it to work, so we'd have to be clever.

"It's not one we could expect to bring to somewhere like Glastonbury and have people going off their heads."

Despite their latest LP's sound, the pair insisted they do not want to create "dark" music forever.

Bege added: "We don't want to become so profound that we become artistes or pretentious - we're not 98 and dying and sitting in an old people's home.

"I would consider making a techno thing when I'm 90."

Senior is out September 13.
