FILTER’S Top 10 of 2009: Eirik of Kings of Convenience

Although we're busy prepping for the start of 2010, FILTER is putting its list of New Years Resolutions (the one's we're actually going to keep this time) aside for a moment and honoring the best albums of 2009. But that's not all: FILTER is presenting a top 10 list from a guest artist each day this month.  

Joining us on day 15 is musician, writer, and vocalist Eirik Glambek Boe, one-half of the Norweigan folk-pop duo Kings of Convenience. After a lengthy period of inactivity that stimulated speculation about a possible breakup, Boe and bandmate Erlend Oye returned in 2009 with a fall tour and the release of their third studio record, Declaration of Dependence—a solid album that presented a return to form for these effortlessly melodic Scandinavians.
