Two collaborations in three months tell you where Konradsen is heading. November 2024 brought “Nick of Time” with Chicago artist Gia Margaret—gentle, atmospheric, exactly what you’d expect. Then came “Efficiency” in early 2025 with Christian Beharie, and suddenly the Norwegian duo sounds willing to sit in discomfort
In 2002, when O was released, it wasn’t just an album—it was a raw and intimate conversation, laid bare between Rice and Hannigan. The record emerged from a deeply personal place in Rice’s life, blending acoustic folk with melancholic reflections on love, heartbreak, and vulnerability. The songs were minimalist in arrangement but monumental in emotional depth.
