Röyksopp "Remind Me" Featured in New GEICO Ad

Market Wire, October, 2006

Astralwerks is pleased to announce that the latest ad in the hugely popular (and hilarious) "Caveman" series for GEICO Auto Insurance, created by the Martin Agency, features "Remind Me" by Röyksopp. The classic song from their album "Melody A.M." features vocals from Erlend Oye (Kings Of Convenience, Whitest Boy Alive).

Röyksopp (Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge) are a dynamic electronic music duo from Norway. After the inordinate success of their debut album, "Melody A.M.": 1,000,000 copies sold worldwide, tours with Basement Jaxx and Moby, not to mention headline tours of their own and a Brit nomination for Best International Group. "Melody A.M." also won Best Video for "Remind Me" at the European MTV awards and was named one of the Best Records of the Year by Rolling Stone, GQ, and a number of UK magazines; Best Electronica Album by Entertainment Weekly; and "Band To Watch" by Spin. In 2004, Röyksopp made their follow-up to "Melody A.M." "The Understanding," and once more easily defied categorization -- lurching from delicate widescreen cinerama to haunting house by way of boisterous electro bug outs -- it is resolutely different to their first opus, but reassuringly the same in excellence.
