The Royal Concept

First attracting world-wide attention using a self-produced hit “D-D-Dance” — which introduced their Phoenix-like mixture of sun-drenched pop and digital elements — Stockholm’s indie dance-rockers the Royal Idea feature vocalist/guitarist David Larson, guitarist Filip Bekic, bassist Magnus Robert, and drummer Frans Povel. Early in 2012, the music group — who resolved on the moniker that Apr — agreed upon to Lava Information, which released the group’s self-titled debut EP that June. Their 2013 debut recording, Goldrushed, presented the hit solitary “On Our Method,” which obtained exposure for the soundtrack to FIFA 14, aswell as on Television shows such as for example Glee and Catfish. Made by Tony Hoffer (who previously caused acts such as for example M83, the Kooks, and Depeche Setting) and released in 2015, the Smile EP noticed the group have a glam-inspired modification of direction.
