I've been thinking about getting in on this music reviewing lark for a while now. So with Spotify on everyone's computer meaning you can listen to what I'm talking about straight away, it felt like a good time to start!

I first came across Kings Of Convenience when they released 'Toxic Girl' in (about) 2001. I bought the single, but never got round to listening to any more of their stuff, but with Spotify being so nice and generous, I've recently had the chance.

Jolly glad that I did. 'Quiet Is The New Loud' is a perfect 'getting on with work' album. Just plug in your headphones and let the gentle, folk-tinged tunes fill your ears and carry you along while you get what you need to get done, done.

Comparisons to Belle & Sebastian could be made; the music is a gentle sort of folk style, but like the review on the Spot says, Kings Of Convenience's lyrics seem more concerned with 'calm moods and relationships' rather than the tongue in cheek words of Stuart Murdoch.

My favourite tracks: Toxic Girl and Little Kids. You can listen to the album on Spotify.
