I thought of really dirty restrooms and the warm home cooking of Frito Lay potato chips. You can't exactly blame me for reacting like this, though. I mean, convenience is all the rage these days.
People think convenience is cool.
Most of these tracks glide along smoothly on slow and thoughtful rhythm. Luckily, these songs are few and far between. If you pick up Kings of Convenience looking for intelligent songs and sensitive, unpretentious acoustic music, you'll never think twice about putting a few dollars in these guys' pockets. As for the issue of similar content, it could be argued that the content of this record is reminiscent of the other bands, but that claim could just as easily be dismissed as crap. They're too solitary and lonely for that.
