Röyksopp and Robyn Do It Again
Röyksopp and Robyn have just unleashed the brilliant new video for Do It Again, the first single to be taken from their critically-acclaimed mini-album of the same name.
The black and white clip was shot in Mexico by award-winning Danish filmmaker Martin de Thurah and deals with themes of desire, ecstasy and forbidden love. Svein Berge from Röyksopp says: “I feel that the video in a clever way manages to emphasise one of the main themes of the song – doing something that might be considered morally wrong, and yet going through with it, fully aware of the consequences and potential repercussions. Some of these actions are driven by choice – others by necessity.”
Robyn added, “I’m pleased that, for me, the video stirs up a feeling of chaos which is what we talked about quite a bit when we wrote ‘Do It Again.’ Life takes you to a critical point and even though it might not make you happy, when it´s over, you want to go back.”
Röyksopp and Robyn’s mini album is out now on Dog Triumph via Cooking Vinyl/Wall Of Sound. Buy it here.
