The Inevitable End by Royksopp

The Inevitable End, Röyksopp's fifth studio album, came out on 7 November 2014, and the title wasn't a bluff: that September the Tromsø duo of childhood friends Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland had said it would be their last album in the traditional sense, though not the end of their music. They produced it themselves, and Berge talked up its dark energy, while Robyn heard something sad but warm rather than cold.

It's electronic pop with trip-hop shadows falling across it, and four singles came off it: "Monument" in its T.I.E. Version, "Skulls", "Sordid Affair" and "I Had This Thing". They stuck to their word about the format until 2022, when they returned with Profound Mysteries, a project spread across three albums released that year.
