To be released on 17 December, the re-pressing of these two albums comes as demand grows for the records on vinyl following the announcement of their recently released first new album in 11 years ‘Peace Or Love’ earlier this year.‘Quiet Is the New Loud’ was originally released on January 29, 2001 and is the duo's debut album. Upon release the album was met with critical acclaim with Q Magazine saying “There's lashings of charm in the way the songs unfurl, touch upon an array of ethereal womenfolk and end, having gone nowhere much, but prettily”, Rolling Stone saying “Produced by Ken Nelson, who was also responsible for Badly Drawn Boy's Bewilderbeast, Quiet Is the New Loud is equally praiseworthy, as the band conjures up the spirit of Nick Drake with eerie precision” while PopMatters heaping praise on their unique songwriting style “They also have a swell way with a tune, constructing deceptively simple melodies that lodge themselves effortlessly into your head”.‘Quiet Is the New Loud’ features the singles ‘Winning a Battle, Losing the War’ and ‘Toxic Girl’. The album is certified Silver in the UK and Gold in their native Norway.Side A1.Winning A Battle, Losing The War2.Toxic Girl3.Singing Softly To Me4.I Don't Know What I Can Save You From5.Failure6.The Weight Of My Words Side B1.The Girl From Back Then2.Leaning Against The Wall3.Little Kids4.Summer On The West Hill5.The Passenger6.Parallel Lines
