Legao

Erlend Øye is a Norwegian composer, musician, producer, singer and songwriter fromBergen, best known for being part, together with Eirik Glambek Bøe, of the indie folk duo Kings of Convenience. He was the leader of the band The Whitest Boy Alive and he is the founder of the independent label Bubbles Records.

Øye first came to the attention of UK fans as one half of blissed-out folk duo Kings of Convenience; their 2001 debut Quiet is the New Loud was sung softly to us in church cloisters and festival fields some thirteen years ago. "Europe's answer to Simon and Garfunkel" some cried out - but what came next was far from that.

Legao is his second solo album, recorded in Reykjavík with Hjálmar, a reggae group from Iceland, which was anticipated by the single Garota with a videoclip shot in Seoul.
