Quiet Is the New Loud is the 2001 debut album by Norwegian duo Kings of Convenience, featuring the singles “Winning a Battle, Losing the War” and “Toxic Girl.” Hailed for its disarming sincerity, the album pairs hushed vocals and honeyed harmonies with sparse arrangements of layered guitars and subtle strings. Often likened to a modern-day Simon & Garfunkel, Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe deliver intimate, poetic songs that helped define a new wave of gentle, introspective indie folk.
