The third album from the Norwegian pop-folk duo (Erik Boe and Erlend Oye), Declaration of Dependence is the story of two people living two very different lives, sensing that they are immensely more powerful together than apart. In that sense it is the most adult, the most mature record Kings of Convenience has ever made. That it is their most gripping, their most revealing is, if anything, just a by-product of that honesty and their endeavour – and this shines through in their songs.
