Hey hey - what's popping?
After a lot of tea and whiskey, I finished the new website for Norwegian chillout duo Röyksopp yesterday: royksopp.com
Most musicians' websites are frankly awful, so I've tried to keep things clean and simple here. The main idea here was to ask - what do you want when you visit a musician's website? Predominantly music and videos - so that's what you get, secondary to the navigation on every page - with a music player and a featured video plucked form the video section.
Their only real design request was to include the 'beams of light' that you see there, which tie in with their new album and single artwork.
It's a hybrid of Wordpress, my own code and the Flickr API to allow fans to contribute to the site in the gallery area, there's a lot of links about for last FM and iLike etc. in the discog.
I also tried to avoid too many design cliches - yes there are a few gradients, but that backgorund turned out quite well I think, as I was slighlty dubious as to how those 'beams' would work, I've avoided too many icons (and using those famfamfamicons) - just small comment icons and recognisable icons to accompany the social networks on the 'Connect' page...
Enough babbling from me - have a peep and let me know what you reckon:
