Review by Tom Stoup

Running To The Sea by Röyksopp Feat. Susanne Sundfør: A Deep Dive into Sonic Bliss Released in 2012, Running To The Sea is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. It’s not just another synth-pop or electronic record; it’s a layered journey through emotions, beats, and soundscapes that linger long after the music stops. Hailing from Norway—home to some of the most innovative electronic acts—Röyksopp teamed up with the ethereal Susanne Sundfør for this gem. With genres spanning pop, electronic, and styles like progressive house, deep house, downtempo, and even hints of disco, this album feels like a sonic playground. Let’s talk tracks. While there are remixes galore on here (seriously, they went all out), two songs stand out for me: the title track Running To The Sea and Something In My Heart. The title track, Running To The Sea, is an absolute stunner. From the moment Susanne Sundfør’s vocals kick in, it’s like being wrapped in velvet fog. Her voice has this haunting quality that cuts through the lush production without overpowering it. The beat builds slowly, almost teasing you, before exploding into this euphoric wave of synths and basslines. It’s the kind of song you want to listen to while staring at the ocean—or, ya know, your bedroom wall if you’re landlocked. What sticks with me is how cinematic it feels. Like, I could totally picture it playing during the emotional climax of some indie film where the protagonist finally confronts their inner demons or something. Then there’s Something In My Heart. This one hits different. It’s more subdued compared to the bombastic energy of the title track, but don’t let that fool you. There’s a raw intimacy here that grabs hold and doesn’t let go. The melody is simple yet devastatingly effective, and Sundfør’s delivery makes it feel personal—as if she’s whispering secrets meant only for you. Every time I hear it, I get this weird lump in my throat. Maybe it’s nostalgia? Or maybe it’s just really good songwriting. Either way, it’s unforgettable. What’s wild about this album is how versatile it is. You’ve got dancefloor-ready remixes like the Pachanga Boys version of Running To The Sea, which adds a hypnotic edge perfect for late-night vibes. But then you also have moments like the LNTG Remix, which strips things back and leans into dreamy downtempo territory. It’s like Röyksopp couldn’t decide what mood they were in, so they gave us ALL the moods instead. Looking back, Running To The Sea feels like a bridge between eras. It came out when EDM was blowing up globally, but rather than chasing trends, Röyksopp stayed true to their roots while pushing boundaries. And honestly? That’s why it still holds up today. Sure, it’s not gonna be everyone’s cup of tea—some might find it too moody or introspective—but for those who dig depth in their music, this album is gold. Oh, and here’s a random thought: listening to this record makes me wonder what would happen if Röyksopp and Susanne Sundfør ever collaborated on a full-length project. Like, imagine a whole album of these vibes. Would it be genius or just too much of a good thing? Guess we’ll never know. Still, Running To The Sea remains proof that sometimes less really is more—even when “less” means packing an entire universe of sound into nine tracks.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know that Röyksopp's album *Running To The Sea*, released in 2012, features a dreamy blend of electronic and pop genres? Susanne Sundfør’s vocals take the tracks to another level, especially in the titular song. The album got remixed so many times—like the Pachanga Boys Remix and the LNTG Remix—that it feels like a remix festival. It’s got everything from synth-pop to deep house vibes, making it feel like a journey through Norway’s chill landscapes and Europe’s club scene all at once.

Running To The Sea” is a darkly moving electro-pop track likely inspired by the 2011 twin Oslo and Utøya attacks in Norway. On July 22, lone domestic terrorist Anders Behring Breivik planted explosives at government offices in Oslo, and dressing as a police officer, killed over 80 people in a deadly mass shooting on the island of Utøya. The two events constituted the highest casualties since World War II.
